George Myers on the First ascent of The Beast 666 . First pitch ..this route included the Beast Flake and onwards FA G.Myers .P.Ross 5th July 1972 Alt Leads
17 May 2008 photo of the high traverse. After hearing a bit of discussion about the ill-fated flake, I decided to climb up and see what was going on. Here you can see the gray patch of rock where the flake used to be...<br> <br> I didn't climb up the flake much higher than this because I was very skeptical of making the high traverse. I opted for the low traverse into the chimney. bleh!

A couple moves up into the Beast Flake. I protected with a purple camalot down low, then just moved the # 3 with me the rest of the way. Great stances for rests the whole way up.
Just entering the Beast Flake.
Looking up the Beast Flake
George steppin out onto the flake. We were told to bring "big stuff"...oops, no need for anything over a 4.
