Tyson Arp pushing through the first intimidating moves on the second pitch--hoping the Kidney Stone stays attached to the wall for at least a few more minutes!

Very near the end of pitch one, the flake temporarily merges into the wall leaving a fairly large gap that must be crossed. Angela and I both had the same thoughts when we encountered this gap: "Herb and Jan, you're fricken' crazy!!!" I thought this to be the highlight of pitch one!

Setting up for the final stem move on P1. Josh (aka Wiener) just HAD to take the #6... and for what it's worth... PLACED IT on EVERY PITCH!

Angela Arp pauses to find some crystals for her feet halfway up pitch one.

INCREDIBLE exposure...

The last one up on the Conn Diagonal, notice that I get to haul the gear.
