My topo of Cosmic Wall.

3rd belay station has only one bolt (old hanger was chopped). Girth-hitch rock bridge up and right of bolt for bomber anchor.

The fun rib on the first pitch of Cosmic Wall.

Michael Alfonso coming up the money pitch.

Red circle is the 2nd belay, two people at the belay, in the circle, to give an idea of the size of the wall

last pitch- really amazing exposure and easy climbing.

Looking up at pitch 1. Note large ponderosa at base.

Looking back down p6

Large tree at the start of the first pitch

The last pitch of Cosmic Wall, great exposure

Pitch 6 from alternate pitch 5. Pitch 5 - two right facing ramps. This is the left of the two ending at at a big tree. The 6th pitch arete is easily accessable from here. The notch at lower right is where the other pitch 5 ends.

Pitch 2. More casually runout fun!
