| This was going to be my first 5.10 lead, many years ago. I was so amped, and shaking with fear and apprehension, that I pretty much shook myself off the climb while trying to put the first piece in. I took a good sized fall straight to the ground, and I landed on a boulder. I got a giant bruise on my butt cheek to show for it. |

| Cold, wet, slimy and dirty today, but spectacular anyway. Looked like it hadn't been climbed in months... |

| Led this yesterday. A very physical lead. Great pro! The best climb at the Hollow IMO. |

| Truly a little bit of everything on this climb a MUST DO! I have been going to the hollow for years and always turned away from zig zag because I never was strong enough to lead it. after this weekend I can say this is truly an amazing climb! |

| Hey everyone, an important jug at the start of the crack broke off. Might make things a bit more interesting... |
