Great climb to take hero shot for 1st time leader (that was me in 1972).

An after work freesolo of the East Slab in February.

For those curious about what the finish looks like now: the red line showing the flake that used to be there.

Found this copy of the old 5.10 guide at a hipster thrift shop.

Belaying from the summit.

View up East Slab.

East Slab.

William and Sally at the base of East Slab. The start is the crack behind and left of us. Nice hands and feet make it easier than it appears as it runs up to and behind the block in this photo. Photographer was uphill of us, for perspective's sake.

Brenda below the V-corner direct start to East Slab.

Nice tree anchor at the belay!

First time on the rock.

On the upper crack on a sunny November morning. It started to rain soon after this.

The crack going through the "tall" end of the roof on the far left side at the top of East Slab. This crack is fairly stiff for a 5.6 climb. But if you go over the roof about 20 feet to the right of here, you can almost just step over the roof.

The last moves of the right hand finish.

East Slab.

Manda watches the crack peter out as another climber that just finished the Cozyhang dihedral contemplates suicide.

This looks like a reallly big climb in this photo. Ran is approaching the upper slab. We did the direct start, the first move of which is much harder than it looks at maybe 5.8. The regular route starts higher to the right.

Above the V corner start.
