Bill starting the first pitch. Squeezing under the branch makes the first few feet harder.

Mark finishing up the 4th pitch. Easy runout climbing. As you can see by the large amount of slack I couldn't keep up with his climbing.
Mark placing a low ball (his first piece) about 20 feet up the third pitch. A fall here will pendulum into the belayer.
Kimberly loving the toprope!

Mark starting up the third pitch. It traverses right to ascend the steep chickenheads on the right side of the photo. Easy climbing but don't fall or you'll kill your belayer!
A cool shot of Bill on the third pitch. If it wasn't for the 25 MPH winds it would have been a perfect day.
Looking down the second pitch. The first belay is the top of the big flake just above mid photo. A 15 foot sling around the point of it serves as the anchor.
