From the tiny ledge atop P.5...Do any of the rest of you ever wonder how in the world we can be so comfortable in bizarre spots like this?

To my poor 8.5mm 60...RIP

Dean leading the excellent Pitch 9 of DOWT...

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

The never ending P2!!!

Robbie on the hanging belay

at the top of ten, heading down

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.

My good friend Keith having fun on DOWT

Pitch 3, the traverse. Fun big holds.

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

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!

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