Pitch one of Outer Space. Traverse right from the top of the second pitch of the Bastille Crack. The easiest line goes under the initial bulge, although many climbers go over the bulge judging by all the chalk.<br>
<br>
The upper corner requires chimneying, stemming and laybacking up to the rotten ledge.

Pitch 1 corrected to proper dihedral.

The incredible final pitch of Outer Space.... You can see Kor's initials in the photo. Can you pick out the location?

A good view of the top pitch of Outerspace...my brother Mike at the belay.

Gear everywhere!

Matt on 2nd pitch.

P1 of Outer Space has a bulge that most people go under. I decided to try and go over and had my piece rip out... not completely sure what happened. My gear loop exploded, and half our rack ended up on the road, we bailed. 02/17/18.

Sarah high up in Outer Space!

Taken in 9/1978 looking down P1 dihedral. Note tongue suggesting P1 can be tough. Also note the pre-improved washed out old road.

P2, so good!

Stemming on the first pitch will take some of the sting out of it.

Those pants are from Outer Space or funstigators.com.

Great stemming all the way up.

Phil Lauffen is a thug.

Not the best belay ledge but the initials of one of the greatest!
