Tree anchor we rapped off on the large ledge in the middle of P4. Used 2 70m ropes but I think one would have been fine. It's on the side of the rock facing the street. There are also chains above and below this tree.

Anchor we built in the middle of P4. This was under the final chimney. The GriGri is tied off because I had to belay the 2nd follower as he went down to help the 3rd follower remove some gear so she could get through the P4 squeeze chimney.

The rap chains at the very top of the tower on the road side. You could probably rap all the way to the ground with double ropes but it's probably not a good idea. These chains get you down about 20' to a huge ledge where you can rap a large tree.

Huong sees the light at the end of the tunnel.

Chloe determined to use that crimp
