Pitch 9 - Good fun when the rock changes to that red varnish. Plus you finally get to an actual ledge at the very top!

This photo was stiched together using 3 pictures my friend took from the base. If you look carefully, you can pick out Kristo Torgenson of the Access Fund, just beginning the climb.
Climber in profile on The Chrysalis, taken from the descent from the Brownstone Wall. Cloud Tower is probably one of the cracks to the right.
Going for the pot of gold on the 6th pitch. The desert is a mysterious environment.

Third rap from top. Pitch 7. This is a NEW 70m rope. It's just shy of the anchor. Under body weight, (150lbs) was able to reach the high hanger on the anchor with my PAS. Tricky to get out of the rope. Trickier still to put knots back in for the follower.
