Long exposure shot of climbing with LEDs/headlamp when the LEDs quit working partway up the crux chimney.

This is what the start of the route looks like.<br>
Start on the left, traverse out right.

Complete topo of Tunnel Vision as seen from the parking lot.

Anne nearing the belay after the tunnel pitch. Note the exit hole of the tunnel below

Looking out to where you would end p4, from where you would start p5. With my self, and Marilyn!

Great Bro placement!

Belayer setting up at the entrance to the tunnel.

Looks like someone got poo poo scared on the 3rd pitch. Can't say I blame them.. just bag it up tho ;)

Example of some of the available gear on the tunnel pitch. One might argue that it is merely psychological, as it is all a bit small, but it makes the pitch feel a bit more secure.

Pitch 4 of Tunnel Vision from the Purblind Pillar Route. Note the climber nearly reaching the belay ledge at the opening to the tunnel pitch.

Entrance to tunnel, P5.

David Andretta looking over the ledge with the dried out pee-puddle. It smells there. Don't put your hand in it. That's the extent of my useful beta for this climb.<br>

I might be full of it, and this might actually be the beginning of the tunnel pitch, but there definately is a ledge with a urine pool.

The top! :)

Randi and Travis after the traversing easy exit pitch.

you know you found it if you see this

Leading up pitch 4 looking down.

View from the start of P3. When you're standing there (and it's your first chimney ever) you think .. welp, its been a good life. Don't short yourself dumping out of the off-width! You can place a piece before you pull out eventually.

Half way up the 6th pitch you reach a ledge. You can go straight up the crack/overhang or traverse left. Pictured here, I'm halfway through the traverse, soon to finish at the rope coil.

Me on the last pitch of Tunnel Vision. What an awesome route. Classic! A must do at Redrocks.

It's a little exposed up at the top<br>
