Swinging at the sky, strike three, it's out.. and you're safe! Thanks to Sam (and ASCA)bolting an anchor on top and placing about 8 new bolts on the ladder.

Brought down quite a bit of old stuff off this tower

Deep inside Longbow Chimney.

chockstones to chimney.. to bolt ladder.. to summit!

Don't go this way. You will hate yourself, your mother, and Huntley Ingals for it.

Piece of the bolt ladder.

Summit shot- shows slack line to main wall....scary!!

The final bolt ladder

Amazing view of Castleton, Rectory, and La Sals from just before the top of the first pitch.

Climber starting up Longbow Chimney.

The solid blocks at the beginning of pitch one of Longbow Chimney. Quite frightening.

Crooked Arrow Spire summit pitch.

Can you see the new anchor? Above the ledge on the spire, top of P1. Not a bad view for the belayer.. Castleton/Rectory in front and Colorado River behind!
