Top of P3.

Steeper than it looks at first, this pitch will pump you up if you fail to "break on through". Mike Ryan gets credit for the photo.

The fire in Walker Ranch that burned 1000 some acres started the day we climbed this route.

George leading the first 2 pitches together on Long John Wall.

At the base.

Slot start of the traditional third pitch.

CM on the last pitch.

The second pitch ledge.

Ignominity start. Not as good as the Break on Through start, but less likely to be occupied... and still better than the regular start.

Long John Wall, first three pitches.

Warren on the traditional 3rd pitch, with climber following above.

Start of second pitch.

Long John Wall from the ground. The line moves more or less straight up the center of the photo.

Full Break on Through start. Climb the slab, pull the roof, then go straight up the corner. To get to the tree belay that is the start of LJW p2, climb the slightly overhanging crack just visible at the top of the corner and go left.

Second pitch.

Last moves of the first pitch.

Shane Murphy at a belay--note the rich, yellow lichen on the rock, typical of Eldo.
