About to complete the King Swing. <br> Photo by Tom Evans
Another great "moon day" shot by the great Tom Evans.
Brad sticking the Swing in style, just under halfway on our 6.5 hour run. Note my belay position, perfectly set-up for the "Double-Swing".<br> <br> Brad has cleaned all of his gear off the Boot Flake, so once he's established on Eagle Ledge, he puts me on belay and I swing on over to join him. Mega stoke every time you stick the swing and here the Monkeys hooting in the Valley below.<br> <br> Tom Evans Photo.
