Great historical shot Brian. Interesting that Brett is belaying from beneath Badlands. Big run out! Merril was looking at a big swing off the hard barn-door start of MOP.

Crazy that everything behind Brett's back and butt is gone!

Thanks guys, Old Reliable was a great climb. I remember watching Mark Rolofson take a 25' plunge off the crux.
