We drove too far not to summit on my birthday!

Jumping for joy on the summit!

The idea is a star trail topo of stolen chimney. I did a 2.5 hour exposure. I'm going to shoot it again because it is not what I was looking for. It's not bad so I figured I'd share it. The sky went green on it's own during the long exposure, perhaps it was some aurora borealis (not likely, I think I would have noticed it, but cameras can capture color that we can't see) or maybe a hot sensor, or my polarizer filter caused it, I really don't know.

Mario descending from the corkscrew summit. That previous photo Cameron is Jimmy P, not me, and as you know its after a leap from the rim above all the towers and 2000' above the parking area. Cheers, where is your new FA in the system bro?

I climbed the route for my second time last week and figured I'd make this while the route was still somewhat fresh in my mind. <br>

A very comfortable rack would be 1.5 set of cams and a set of nuts. A single set of cams will suffice for more experienced leaders.<br>

fisheye shot of stolen chimney. the first two pitches are a bit hazy...

Luckily it turned out that the raven is no longer the harbinger of doom, once thought to be.

How many people can you fit in a telephone booth?

Of course we got the classic summit pics but this one was my favorite. this was taken right before walking across to the diving board. The summit shows up as an amazing shadow.

Shows base of the route with many in line.

DO NOT DO THIS! We did not notice until a later ascent that this large block that Brent is yarding on is loose and held in place with mud. It looks like the perfect block to throw a sling over to protect the last move onto the belay ledge. If this baby goes, it will looks like it could just get funneled right down onto the first belay. Yikes!

Yet another summit shot, this one stiched together

Some extreme exposure on this climb, when you climb it naked ;)

Darkness takes away all the exposure...
