There was a little surprise waiting for me in the beginning off-width.

Be brave!

Frank Sanders Leading the 1st LONG Pitch of Bon Hamme (Horning Variation)...Simply a Beautiful Climb !!!

Rick Winters nearing the top of the complete first pitch. This section is actually two cracks in a corner, with plenty of perfect handjams and pro.

This is a good view of the traverse on the first pitch. Don't start traversing until your hands are in the horizontal crack.

Be brave!

Gettin it!

The start. Be careful with the approach- sketchballs

Jon, before the traverse

The offwidth start to BHV with the traverse ledge just above, the climbing is actually a lot cleaner than the photo indicates.

Chuck on the recommended right hand variation to P3. Supposedly 5.7, but the start seemed real hard, and there's a couple more hard moves higher up.

Chuck low down on the sustained P2.

After doing the high traverse. If you're planning on linking P1 and P2, you don't want to place gear for a while in the left crack.

Peering around the corner. Perhaps this is the correct traverse line? I traversed higher where it's steeper, but where there is a horizontal crack for gear and your hands.

Placing gear deep inside on the approach to the traverse.

The climber is at the traverse. Delicate face moves are made from the wide Bon Homme on the right to a narrow variation crack on the left.
