Ben on the other side of the hole you have to shimmy through near the summit.<br> <br> It's a tighter squeeze than it looks in this photo!
Pitch one of Brer Rabbit.<br> <br> I always find the first pitch to be a rude wake up call when I climb in the Fishers. This was no exception.<br>

Can you name the 7 formations in this photo that have routes up them?<br> <br> By the way, if you see this when you're on the summit of Cottontail, be prepared to rap in the dark!
Ben Kiessel on the traverse on pitch 4.<br> <br> Though the climbing on this pitch isn't terribly hard, it's pretty spicy with the sandy rock and ancient star drives for protection!

It's a looooong way down! Chip Wilson on third ascent of Brer Rabbit. 1992..
A panoramic shot of Bill giving a belay just before the "jump across" on the ridge of Cottontail. <br> <br> The jump isn't that bad but you wouldn't want to blow it!
starting the traverse pitch. I had to protect myself to mantle this in a lower out sort of way to avoid a bad big swing. Photo By Matt P./Amber M.<br>
