At the base. Dream of Wild Chukars?

Simul soloing DOWT on a perfect day. P2 is not to be missed!

The never ending P2!!!

To my poor 8.5mm 60...RIP

Pitch 5 traverse 5.9+

An example of P9 & P10 bolting ethics.

Just before the pitch 3 traverse

Matt and Andy head up the 2nd pitch.

From the tiny ledge atop P.5...Do any of the rest of you ever wonder how in the world we can be so comfortable in bizarre spots like this?

The wonderful P2. We're a long way from NH! A great day alone on Black Velvet Wall.

Pitch 6, the most fun of all. Incredible position and rock.

Dean leading the excellent Pitch 9 of DOWT...

Vaino Kodas, coming across the p3 traverse

pitch 4, one #4 was nice for the first bit of this 170' pitch, make sure to have extensions on the gear. I clipped the tag line into the second bolt to make the delicate moves to the anchor then lowered to get it back.

Exhausting, this enjoyment of pitch after pitch after pitch of spectacular climbing. Mar 2015.

Robbie on the hanging belay

Looking down on Pitch 2, glad I decided to take that extra gear. I felt with the off balance nature of this pitch it was the crux of the route.

Pitch 3, the traverse. Fun big holds.

My good friend Keith having fun on DOWT

After a day on Black Velvet. Beat? Sure. Happy? Inexpressibly. Rodents ate our stashed PB&J sandwiches? Of course!

Finishing up Pitch 2

no way its .10 but still a very fun traverse!

Pitch 1.

Sam on P2

Snapped this photo while on rappel after climbing PoD. The traverse pitch. Hope they find it!

Pitch 5, a short yet spicy pitch to a great stance.

A lead fall for Gigi results in a badly sprained ankle and a premature end to the day's climbing.
