Someone on the last pitch.

The incredible final pitch of Outer Space.... You can see Kor's initials in the photo. Can you pick out the location?

The north and west faces of the Bastille.<br>

5. Werk Supp, 9+.<br>
10. Northcutt Variation, 10+.<br>
13. Bastille Crack, 7 or 8.<br>

The crux traverse.

A good view of the top pitch of Outerspace...my brother Mike at the belay.

P1 of Outer Space has a bulge that most people go under. I decided to try and go over and had my piece rip out... not completely sure what happened. My gear loop exploded, and half our rack ended up on the road, we bailed. 02/17/18.

Dave Mackey leading the 2nd pitch of Outer Space.

Gear everywhere!

Sarah high up in Outer Space!

Taken in 9/1978 looking down P1 dihedral. Note tongue suggesting P1 can be tough. Also note the pre-improved washed out old road.

P2, so good!

Starting the second pitch.

Greg K. leading the infamous, exposed traverse pitch.

Stemming on the first pitch will take some of the sting out of it.

Great stemming all the way up.

Those pants are from Outer Space or funstigators.com.

Phil Lauffen is a thug.

Pitch 1 corrected to proper dihedral.

Pitch one of Outer Space. Traverse right from the top of the second pitch of the Bastille Crack. The easiest line goes under the initial bulge, although many climbers go over the bulge judging by all the chalk.<br>

The upper corner requires chimneying, stemming and laybacking up to the rotten ledge.

Outer Space. Start of the 1st pitch. <br>

Leaving the Bastille Crack.

Maybe my favorite pitch in the canyon

Adam Pecan starting the traverse.

You can use a two piece system with the magic x for this section below the fixed piton.

I love this ride!

Adam leading the spectacular 1st pitch.

Adam headed up the spectacular first pitch.

The same spot where Brad G. was traversing left that Scott Bennett took that people seemed to have confusion about. Brad G. was on route! You can also see the "LK" under the right foot adjacent to the rope.

Adam just about cruxing.

Not the best belay ledge but the initials of one of the greatest!

Taking in the exposure from the crux traverse on P2.
