About to complete the King Swing. <br> Photo by Tom Evans
Think this pic speaks for itself!!!
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.
