Seth chillin on the last big ledge at the top of the West Face.

looking back toward awahnee (spelling?) ledge.

Ryan Cutshall jugging the haul line on the last pitch

Hillary getting some massive exposure on pitch 9

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

Randy Baum Leading the P5 Ramp

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.

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

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.

Emilio jugging in open air!!

first big wall. first aid lead. scared me silly

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

amazing exposure..

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

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

Tim leading the awkward pitch 5 ramp.

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

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

Tim Triche in the haulbag bivy 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 back on the P5 Traverse, WFLT.

Brewing coffee on the Ahwahnee Ledge

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

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

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.

Tim Triche starting up the bolt ladder at about 7pm on our "push"

some girl being described as "not a gumby anymore". She was headed up these fixed lines to ahwahnee ledge. Had fixed lines up the whole route; trying to free it.
