Janet on P2.

To my poor 8.5mm 60...RIP

She's from Wyoming.

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

The never ending P2!!!

Dean leading the excellent Pitch 9 of DOWT...

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.

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.

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

Exhausting, this enjoyment of pitch after pitch after pitch of spectacular climbing. Mar 2015.

After a day on Black Velvet. Beat? Sure. Happy? Inexpressibly. Rodents ate our stashed PB&J sandwiches? Of course!

That girl from Wyoming following on pitch 6ish.

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

One of them there pitches up there. Maybe 5??

no way its .10 but still a very fun traverse!

Janet working out the thin moves on the awesome P5 traverse.

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