Psycho Tower.

That's a rap :)

Jim getting silly on the epic traverse.

One last look and then it was time for beers.

Getting off before the storm.

Looking down "Nameless Face", which if used as a first pitch makes this tower a much more worthy outing. If you don't climb 5.11, just yard through the first two bolts and it's outstanding 5.9 face climbing from there.

Just a little bit further.

Psycho Tower. The exciting traverse pitch over the roof can be clearly seen.

Dolores River from the summit.

First pitch. We belayed at the rap anchor instead of the regular belay station (up and right). Nice ledge but harder to communicate with the leader at the crux.

The crux. This picture doesn't come close to portraying the gripitude of this spot!

Rapping down. P2 starts on the right and wraps behind the tower to the large [ledge] on the left on the summit.

Summit.

A couple of bolts up on pitch 3.

Mike about to start the last pitch 3-2009.
