A different perspective of the final moves of the top pitch.

As Brenda starts up pitch 4, far below the rafts provide additional entertainment. In the front raft, a man fell out and they're trying to get him back into the raft.

Nearing the end of pitch #4.

Red：Solid Gold start to Playin' Hooky.<br>
Yellow: Solid Gold.<br>

<em>Eds.</em> The red line deviates at the black roof on P2 from Solid Gold onto Furlough Day. Solid Gold's P2 is on the lighter gray rock to the right of the red line on P2.

Awesome view from the top. Climbed this route in May when the scenery was green and the creek was high.

Dana chillin' at the top!

A view of the nice ledge right below the first set of anchors. Rather than doing a hanging belay, it's easier to set up the anchor, then lower down the 10 feet to this ledge to belay from.

I'm following Kevin up the first pitch of Playin' Hooky after completing the 1st 2 pitches of Solid Gold.

Good view of the full route from the creek.

<em>Eds.</em> The rope actually goes from the start of Furlough Day onto the upper part of P1 of Solid Gold.

Despite the road, the rap is pretty scenic.

Test.

Last pitch Matt G.

More fun than working.

Almost to the top.

Enjoying PH....
