Awesome belay atop the friendly flake

"Feed yourself into the offwidth. Expect no mercy." Leading P2 of Abracadaver. Even though it wasn't one of the crux pitches, I found this to be the most strenuous pitch by far.

The route from the approach. It goes up the thinner looking crack to the left of the more obvious Knead Me, then up to the huge detached "friendly flake" at the top of the photo.

pitch one

The rap straight back down abra with two ropes is fine and with the disadvantage of tagging a second rope, you conveniently end up right back at your packs. But if you are looking to rap with a single rope and ditch the tag line, this photo shows the starting anchor of a single rope descent climbers left of the top out on abra. The only downside is that you have to scramble, squeeze and walk back to your packs from the base of the single rope rap.

Relieved after the scary face climbing on pitch four. Doing my best John McCain impression.

Any OW you can smile while you're in can't be that bad right...

Cristiano styling the pseudo-mantle move after the crux on P3. Also, a double placement before the committing traverse helps take the edge off.
