Rainbow Slab / Slide - photo taken from somewhere high on the Weld Trail
After the bushwhack, this class 2 slab was a welcome sight. The Main slab , including the lower "Walk Up" portion is still in the background.

Just before "Rope Up"
Starting out on P2
Sheila climbs P1 while Bob belays, and Ed takes the picture. The "Pot of Gold" corner can be seen 25-50 ft above Bob's head.
Approaching the main climbing slab, walking up the "Walk Up" slab
Ed Palen follows - Magnificent Views! This is either the top of P2, or more likely the top of P3.
Fishhawk Cliffs and Lower Ausable Lake dam - the starting point for our adventure
Our first view when the bushwhack opened up a bit. Note tired look on Sheila and Ed's faces...mine wasn't any better!
