Big Horn sheep at the base of Crimson, last weekend.
Climbers on Crimson Chrysalis with Las Vegas Strip and Lake Mead in the background.
This photo was stiched together using 3 pictures my friend took from the base. If you look carefully, you can pick out Kristo Torgenson of the Access Fund, just beginning the climb.

April 1986. Some farmers from Idaho. RKM, Steve Bowen and Blair RIch. No one around, old school climbing. So good, we did it again the next year. Remember the comfortable Willians Harness.
Climber in profile on The Chrysalis, taken from the descent from the Brownstone Wall. Cloud Tower is probably one of the cracks to the right.
Going for the pot of gold on the 6th pitch. The desert is a mysterious environment.
View from the top of the Cloud Tower.
Climbers near the top. March 12, 2008
Third rap from top. Pitch 7. This is a NEW 70m rope. It's just shy of the anchor. Under body weight, (150lbs) was able to reach the high hanger on the anchor with my PAS. Tricky to get out of the rope. Trickier still to put knots back in for the follower.
