Pure Alley Headwall!!

Nice, simple multi-pitch.

Taken Dec 14, 2006 after a great day of climbing. The end of the second pitch is hidden in this picture behind the rock outcropping on the right. The bolts are on the left side of the big boulder at the top (just right of center in this picture).

Looking back at the reservoir.

Mount Lincoln ice in late November 2004

Here's a treat that just came in. Just uphill from the first mixed left-exit.<br>

Been waiting for this, thought it wouldn't show -- this wall is difficult to anchor for your second.

Look -- An exit from the bowling alley; John, let's get outta here before we get bowled.<br>

(I think this is the same corner as Leo is describing in his comment. If so, ditto what he stated. I would bring a pin or two; I had only RPs that sort of worked, then stubbies. The start belay is good & sheltered from those above us on the final pitch of the standard climb in early season. But the belay fills in later on during the season and can get exposed.)

In the gully

Climbing Mt. Lincoln (Right side 2/27/05) in fat conditions. Nice little pillar formed up on right. Great conditions with the warmer weather, not as brittle as usuall this time of year. Cheers!

If we only knew the jeep was a bust...The next time I say let's take the jeep, say Mark, remember to check the cables.
