Birdland, pitch 1 variations. The first pitch as listed in the Brock guidebook follows the leftmost crack system (yellow dots). An alternate start follows a wider crack to the right (red dots). Both variations are about the same difficulty.

First pitch of Birdland

Looking down from the fourth belay station. A semi-hanging belay which obviously has great exposure

Brent Peters nearing the top of pitch 5. The climbing is sustained and delicate from here to the belay.

Birdland is also covered by String Cheese Incident on their "Carnival 99" album.

Birdland is the first track on "Heavy Weather" by Weather Report.

It was quite a busy day on birdland yet still enjoyable. There were 6 people total hanging from the two bolts atop pitch 4 just prior to taking this photo......

Pitch 5 offers some nice exposure especially for the grade.

Amazing finish on thin fingers
