Marcus on the fine Pitch 2. Small wires are the key here. Take your time...and dont fall...haha

At the crux on Trisstin's Tower.<br>
<br>
After cramming all the gear you can in that pod below me, it's tiny offsets and hand placed peckers to reach the good crack on the left. <br>
<br>
Wheeee....<br>

Steve working the upper portion of the second pitch on the FA. Leap frogging #1 tri-cams I believe. . . . (bring some more cams)

Climbers at P1 belay and P2 belay. April 2004 ascent.

Myself on Pitch 1. This pitch easily goes clean with small wires, loweballs and small cams.

Steve, after the crux of p2 on the FA

Hand placed peckers?.... Oh yeah, that's the good stuff!

Nearing the end of p2 on the FA.

View from the basin.

Looking up the first pitch.

View from the early AM approach. April 2004 ascent.

Preparing to get off the summit. It was worth it to start this tower late in order to be up there at sunset.

Looking up from the base, about to reach easier ground on p2 of the FA.

Cleaning pitch one. You can get a good look at the size of the crack. This is the largest section of the first pitch. The start is thinner.

Stellar

The first ascent . . . rapped off from the first belay to take the shot, then jugged back up. Steve's leading the second pitch, Jon belaying.
