Big air.

Unknown climber on PS on 7-23-11....

Looking up at the first pitch, some gear available to keep your belayer steady. Use long slings to link without misery.

Climber on Pervertical Sanctuary, taken from Black Dagger on 8/10/09. I believe one of these climbers was named "Buster".

Look at the butt on that guy.

Pitch 6. The guidebook shows that you can climb the crack system on the left or right, both at 5.9. I went up the one on the left.

Looking down at the first loose pitch from the start of the mitten dihedral. Note that the belayer is on the ramp above Broadway.

Some nice exposure.

The stance on the perched block at the top of pitch 4.

Pitch 5. We had 2 #3 and 2 #4, which seemed sufficient with some walking of the bigger pieces and back-cleaning whenever you could get in a smaller cam.

A few climbers up above and right, as seen on a bluebird morning on Pervertical Sanctuary (5.10, IV) on the Diamond Face of Longs Peak. Even there, you are never alone. Photo by Tony Bubb, Aug 2001.

Unknown climber near the top of 2nd pitch after combining 1st two pitches. Photo taken at 10:19 AM from the top of the Chasm Wall Thursday, Sept. 18th, 2014. I had hiked up from the Boulder Field to watch the climbers and take in the view.
