The second to last pitch is stellar. I was blown out from leading the first five pitches of borderline linking into angels and gave this lead to my partner. That was a mistake.

The splitter 5.10b offwidth variation to pitch 7. Isn't it beautiful? I'm a sucker for offwidths... Too bad the #5 I lugged up there wouldn't do anything for me.
After the Acrophobes.
Dan leading the 5.10b offwidth. He used a BD #6 for the first 1/3, then a VG 9 for the 2/3. Sort of ran it out until closer to the top where he could place a nut and a BD 0.5.<br> I tried this on top-rope and felt like it was impossible. Master the heel-toe cam and you should be good.
Daniel, feeling psyched on the exposure of the Acrophobes. You can see the rest of the route in the distance.

Nearing the end of an awesome pitch
Looking down the North Gully of the Chief. The Acrophobe towers are visible in the lower middle of the shot. The finishing pitches are just around the corner of the buttress on the right. The building in the upper middle with the brown roof is the hospital. The Smoke Bluffs are just out of sight at the top of the image.
