Rick Reese's bolting kit. Note the home made aluminum hangers, 1" and 1 1/2" steel split bolts. Now donated to the Utah Historical Society.

Riku getting his friction on near the top of Pentapitch.

From the belay anchors at the start of pitch 5 of PentaPitch. Move out left from the anchors on slabby moves to finger crack. Many consider this very sketchy because the slab moves are not protected and a fall would be directly onto the anchors with a bit of a pendulum.

Alex showing me how it is done on p5

Maura Hahnenberger on the final, very nice pitch of Pentapitch

Rick Reese's hammer used on many a FA in the Wasatch. Like many, Rick used a geologist's hammer.

On Pitch 1, before the T-Storms rolled in.

Lee just above the crux on the last pitch. There is a really nice triangle cut in the crack that lets you get your breath back before you make the moves over to the bolt.

First pitch of Pentapitch

Starting the 4th pitch of Pentapitch.

The first piece is the start of the crack portion of the last pitch.

perfect place to put a nut in. even if it doesn't need it, it deserves it.

Linking last 2 pitches..the initial step left into the traverse is a bit exciting!

Tobin on the 1st pitch.
