Super Slab, Vertigo Tower, Lower Tower One.

Rodger, following the final pitch on Super Slab.

Chuck climbing the crux to the left of the corner. This is maybe 2 letter grades easier than climbing the face just right of the corner, but you have to get here first, and that's hard.

Chuck looking totally casual at the crux. The blindly placed micro cam is at the base of the shallow corrner at Chuck's waist. Chuck climbed directly up from here, with one foot on each side of the corner. Getting to this stance from the flake down and right is hard enough that I didn't want to do that following, so I instead climbed further right. The way Chuck climbed it is easier.

Leading pitch three, around the blind corner.

Matt taking down pitch 3! Use this as beta at your own risk!

Near the top of the last pitch. The traverse left, then moving back right over the bulge, and then back left again to the top is wild but relatively easy at about 5.8.

Pitch 3 step across. I took this photo from a belay directly below where it meets up with Grand Giraffe - a better belay would have been about 10 feet lower. Pitch 2+3 could be linked pretty easily.

At the middle of the traverse at the end of P1. This downward traverse is wild. The rock is funky, but there's plenty of fixed pins to make it safe.
