Same old bolt hanger and same sling, 4 years later!

Surveying the rest of the second pitch after clipping the second bolt and moving right on a decent foot ledge. The big tree a top the fourth pitch can be seen above.
The view from the belay at the top of pitch 3 is pretty outstanding as are the chicken head moves traversing out left onto this face.

The moves stepping up to the second bolt here are the thinnest of the first pitch. Exciting.

At the top, looking North.
When you reach this cool tree, you're near the start.

1st pitch, right before sprinkle. Swapped lead, so my friend needed to climb slightly wet slab...
