Birdland psyche!

Birdland, pitch 1 variations. The first pitch as listed in the Brock guidebook follows the leftmost crack system (yellow dots). An alternate start follows a wider crack to the right (red dots). Both variations are about the same difficulty.

First pitch of Birdland

Brent Peters nearing the top of pitch 5. The climbing is sustained and delicate from here to the belay.

Looking down from the fourth belay station. A semi-hanging belay which obviously has great exposure

Loving the Exposure

Mind blowinly good last pitch.

Pitch 5 offers some nice exposure especially for the grade.

Looking down at the unknown climber from pitch 5

Birdland awash in climbers on March 23rd. Fun route, but very crowded -- even on a weekday!

The p5 splitter! Birdland, RR, NV.

It was quite a busy day on birdland yet still enjoyable. There were 6 people total hanging from the two bolts atop pitch 4 just prior to taking this photo......
