Mark calmly heads up Batman Pinacle while his belayer watches the lightning across the valley. Common weather condition, same thing happened 2 weeks later with a different partner. In both cases, we got little or no rain.

Theo Barker's celebration 18 years of marital bliss with a climb on Batman & Robin. That's a rock solid marriage!

Wayne on the best part.... If you belay from where this photo was taken, the whole climb goes smoothly as two pitches....

Lightning Bolt, Bat Flake, and Batman Pinnacle.

A man on the summit preparing to...rap?

Erik Marr rapping off the anchors on top of the Batman Pinnacle. A little downclimbing and one more rap gets you to the ground.

Deb leading P1...blue bird day in January!

Fun 5.6 crack climbing.

Pitch 2 of 3. This part was fun. FYI: the first pitch we stayed out of the easy corner on the right after the 5.4 white runout dike (fun) by going R and up the higher R-facing dihedral (5.6-5.7). Watch out for rope drag.

Looking down at the second pitch, after setting up a belay at the base of the pinnacle.
