The north and west faces of the Bastille.<br> <br> 5. Werk Supp, 9+.<br> 10. Northcutt Variation, 10+.<br> 13. Bastille Crack, 7 or 8.<br> 14. Outer Space, 10.<br> 33. West Buttress, 11-.
The dark brown rusty streak is the location of the loose, lower piton that we removed. This view shows the fractured flake just left. We worried that hammering a new, thicker piton might cause more fracturing.
The location of the lower piton that was loose and we removed today. The chalky slot down and right is the horizontal that takes great cams. The carabiner visible is attached to a quickdraw on a good RP.

This is such a cool climb for everyone!
An unknown climber at the crux of Northcutt Start. I like how you can see climbers on Bastille Crack above and someone working Hairstyles and Attitudes on a toprope solo straight up the wall. Also you can really see all of Outer Space as well.
