No Country topo

Rappelling through the tunnel pitch.

Staring up Pitch 2 (10b face). Awesome position.

Pitch 7

Pitch 7: Dike to stacked blocks. 5.7.

Pitch 5: In the chimney. There are 2 protection bolts.

Pitch 5: We tried to go left, but it was pretty chossy. We backed down and went right (as the topo suggests). Might be easier if you go back in on the left (?), not as good of climbing.

Pitch 7: Stacked blocks. Climb carefully. But its fun climbing.
