That corner's a lot steeper than it looks. A great classic pitch. May 26, 2013

It feels slightly overhanging for ten feet or so. Stemming wide helps keep the weight off your arms. What a great pitch! Apr 21, 2015

Starting up the fun 3rd pitch corner of Gelsa.
The base of Gelsa, marked by the large tree growing up and out from the blocky crack at the base of cliff. <br> <br> The first belay point tree can be seen in the upper 1\5 of the pic parallel and on the right to the main tree. True color of rock is creamy yellow as seen in the other pics.
