The rappel to the crows nest. Climber: K. Decker. Looking Northeast towards boulder at the direct west face of The Maiden.

BJ at the beginning of the rappel!

How I learned to love the fog?<br>
30 Aug 09 from the top of the West Ridge.

We rapped down to the ground with two 60 meter ropes. Views were beautiful!

North Face pitches.

Newer "Non-hubar" photo!

The initial face of the West ridge.

The perfect way to cap off the climb.

The terrifying view when you come over the first headwall on the route.

Mike Belcher airs it out on the Maiden rappel!

Cool old Holubar cover page.

The hand traverse.

Nice rap.

The Maiden from the Southwest.

Vanya heading to the Crow's Nest.

Beginning the airy crux just before the pine tree belay. I'm skeptical this maneuver is "5.6" <br>

Mark is just about to start the crux moves in the pitch after the crow's nest. The piton is about 3 feet up and right of his right hand. The hold his right hand is on is the key to the easiest way to climb this section (for me).

Another exposed traverse.

Nice to have an extra mm of rope diameter for the rap.

John Maguire rapping down the Maiden....

Vanya on the first slab.

Enjoying a well deserved rest after topping out on the Maiden.

Starting the slabby 4th pitch of the Maiden's north face route.

Photo I took of myself while on rappel. What a cool rock!

Setting off on the final pitch. Should have belayed on big block below me.

The Maiden, 5.28.17.

Perfect Feb. day.

View of the 5.6 route. The "P"s are fixed pitons that can be used to back up the thrid pitch. Also, the X is a bolt; however, it is really old and sketchy.

BJ at the first belay.
