Jonathan fighting up the Fang (2/23/04)

Fang in March, 2006. Trying to regrow following the earlier collapse.

The Fang on 2/9/08.

The Fang as of Jan 12, 2002.

RobCC leading the Fang in drippy wet but otherwise hooky and fat conditions.

On 12/23/03 just a bit necky...

Picture was taken of the mixed lines behind the fang...Don't know what routes they are. John varco was standing at the base, so maybe he knows who this climber is. Although, his belayer was screaming encouragement and using the name Chris.

Wildman...????

The Fang as of 1/1/10. Still has a little ways to go...unless it falls down first.

A shot of the base of the Fang (not formed) with water dropping on the top of this formation. This "artichoke" like formation is a bit tricky to climb when this climb is in.

The Fang in Jan. 4, 2020. It is not formed, as the top must have broken off.

Fang as of 2/22/18.
