Brad leading the second pitch of Borderline. The 11c crux is visible above, but Brad is traversing over to approach Blazing Saddles. Done this way, the pitch is 5.9, although before making the traverse, it looks like it's going to be harder.

Brad wishing he had saved the right gear for the roof (#.75 Camalot). Once he pulled around the roof he wanted those pieces even more.
The first pitch of Borderline. Brad was sorting a rope tangle so I got out the camera. In the forest, the wall has a cragging atmosphere, but as soon as you're actually on the face, with the Sheriff's Badge above and views all around the Squamish Valley, it suddenly feels like a very big wall.
