Pitch 2

View from midway up the 3rd pitch

Used two 60m ropes for rappel.

Sunset on the superstitions

The route with the most webbing wins. :-) This is the summit belay & rappel station. From here it's a double-roped rappel back to the base.

Tell me more about this exposure you speak of...

The Hand is one of the most prominent features in the North Side of the park!

Notice the headwall on the Third Pitch above Chicken ledge...its really positive on the left side with handholds...Two good (?) bolts and 1 manky one...Backed up with a directional piece on the one ledge halfway up third pitch...

Jennifer belays from the Chicken Ledge.

The Chicken Ledge Belay station - Jennifer ready to step up to it.

Jennifer climbs towards the chicken ledge from the top of first pitch.

Coming up the route

Praying Hands, found it, after getting off track a little (we tried to climb the wrong rock, realized it, then found the right one)

Superstition Spires

Jimmy Purcell looking up halfway up the second pitch while I belay from Chicken Ledge...Notice the nice view on either side....
