What the crux pitch looked like back in '96, via Climbing Mag #158

Following pitch three. No ability to tension traverse. I thought this was terrifying.

A bag of micro trash from the Rocker. Please do your part to pick up after yourself and other.

Make sure your shoes are in good condition before starting the route...

Beautiful exposure on the approach to the rocker block.

the best pitch of the route the splitter .12a above the slot

Following the last part of the nutting pitch with 1000+ feet of air beneath.

Logan took this of a fat man aiding through the crux bit. It pays to not eat too much!

Just before the anchor on the last 5.12 pitch.

Patrick Cattell STOKED after beautifully SENDING the crux pitch. No noise, no whining, just climbing.

Here's the Beta for finding the top of the route if you're hiking up to rap in and top-rope solo the route. Go left at the West_Rim/Angel_Landing fork in the trail (obvious vista with outhouse), and continue for 1/4 mile. The bolts are just over the edge, but look for obvious rope grooves on the ground from people using the tree to haul.
