Hillary getting some massive exposure on pitch 9

Plush bivy 20 ft from the top. Well worth an extra night.

fully enjoying the Tower of Power (pitch 7)

Jace (after dropping a jumar from the 7th pitch), jugging with a grigri an ascender. Little did we know, I had 4 jumars clipped to my harness because Steven forgot his before leading the pitch. <br>

"YOU HAD TWO PAIRS OF GLOVES THE WHOLE TIME??" Oh well, good practice I guess.

Upper ledge 30 feet below the summit.

uber scary "4th class" traverse to the start of the climb. the most frightening part of the climb in my opinion. Scott carrying the pig

1975...about to start my first wall. Is that tree still there?

first big wall. first aid lead. scared me silly

Phil on pitch 5

Emilio jugging in open air!!

Amazing sunset at the top - El Cap in the background

West Face of Leaning Tower. I'm not 100% about the accuracy here since this picture is at an angle, but it's the best I had to draw on.

Enjoying a tasty brew on the plush ledge on pitch 4.

free hanging jug on pitch 7, I think... wild.

amazing exposure..

The overhanging pitch 9 is the most fun I've ever had aiding. Photo by Adam Sinner. 5/21/10

Great final bivy ledge before the easy fourth class to the raps.

Staying in my bag while the party ahead of us leads out pitch 5.

1975, with Doug Rodda after topping out. Came back to Camp 4 to find my car broken into and all my gear stolen.

Snapped this shot of a guy on p.5 while climbing WDD with a couple friends.

Brewing coffee on the Ahwahnee Ledge

4 am whiskey visions on Ahwahnee ledge. A present left by a previous party.

Guano Ledge? What an odd name... Ohh, probably from that piece or two of guano or something. <br>

A poor sloping ledge that I was pooped on several times by angry birds while Tim linked P4-5

Looking up at Pitch 3

What a cool place to spend the night. Travis Strong enjoying the view.

John jugging up P8 of the West Face of Leaning Tower.

1975. Awesome exposure, Doug Rodda cleaning.
