An Approaching Brit

Low angle summit shot of Colby Wayment and Eric Zschiesche atop The Titan on a warm June day of 2013. Sans humans and gear,... with less atmospheric blue,... Mars? Classic formation,... though,... Zschiesche taxed with entertaining techniques ( aiding and jugging ) long rusty,.... was almost tempted to forego the last pitch and rappel. Clouds of consternation waned,... and the Sun baked summit felt the shadowed presence of members of the Tribe Primate....

Rockin' out on pitch 4, about to aid the roof.

2nd pitch on the Finger of Fate route. Zschiesche free climbing this sweet pitch. Clean gear placements are more than adequate for this fine route.
