Pitch 1 - the traverse.

Mark Wilford, 1976.

Brad White at the 1st belay. My first time up Rosy, his 20 something-th time doing the route.

One of my favorite pitches in the park. <3

Unknown climbers on the second pitch. Shot taken from the Fowler Trail across the canyon.

Unknown climber following the downward crux moves beyond the second bolt.

Taken from the belay after the traverse, awesome position, but not sure it deserves PG-13.

The late Newt Wheatly on the first pitch of Rosy Crucifixion taken by Bryan Bornholdt.

Unknown climber following P1 after unclipping the first bolt. The leader trailed a rope which is used to good effect protecting the second from taking a big swing.

Almost to the traverse on the last pitch.

Still thinking it's all good on the start of Rosie...

If you look close enough, you can just BARELY make out his big grin. Job well done mate!

Looking down at P1, P2 and the lower ramp.

Mark Sargent out on Rosy in 1983.

David Hodgson, smiling big after the second pitch. Don't cheat yourself by avoiding the second pitch crux by moving right, the gear is where it needs to be. (9+/.10a).

Finishing up the traverse.

Unknown climber nearing the top of P2 after linking P1 and P2. This and the next few photos were shot from the tree at the top of Slimey Spoon/Vertical Smile near the upper south edge of the Lower Ramp.

Rosy Crucifixion climbs the prominent face in the center of the photo. The same unknown climber as in the previous photo can be seen just below dead center. Photo by Paul Rezucha from the Fowler Trail.

William is ecstatic after finishing pitch 3; his hardest lead since his psych-out fall!

Nice ass, but an even nicer lead up the start of pitch two. Shawn "sacks up" and takes it on.

jam. An exciting route.

Unknown climber looking pretty small near the top of P2.

This unknown climber following P1 is between the first and second bolts.

BrianB on the Rosy traverse. I could just reach to clip the 1st bolt...whew. Swapped leads with Bill Farrand. Nice route!

Finishing on Rosie's 3rd pitch--almost home, but so far to go!

Just after the traverse.<br>
A 2nd rope really works well to protect the 2nd....

Looking down from the top out at the Upper Ramp on pitch 3, super route.

To the unidentified party behind us who were nice to let me take pictures of them! I have just a few more of interest, PM if you'd like me to email them.

Getting a little harder, or did you just swallow a bug?

Dan R. finding that following this pitch is also zesty.

My buddy Aaron Porter leading Rosy - his first pitch in Eldo, temps were in the upper 20s. "That was scarier than El Cap."

Joe showing some teeth...
