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

Dean leading the excellent Pitch 9 of DOWT...

River taking in the exposure before pulling the crux

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.

Vaino Kodas, coming across the p3 traverse

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!

Pitch 4, before the face moves after 50m of crack.

Climbers at the second belay, casting off on the third pitch. 3/24/19.

Snapped a photo of these gents while on rappel after climbing PoD. Hope they find it!

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