Looking back at the P2 belay.
The base of Gelsa, marked by the large tree growing up and out from the blocky crack at the base of cliff. <br> <br> The first belay point tree can be seen in the upper 1\5 of the pic parallel and on the right to the main tree. True color of rock is creamy yellow as seen in the other pics.
