(Route Photo) WHY is this man smiling? As the wise, old climber he is: he's managed to belay, not lead, the crux pitch. (Note the all-nut trad belay.)

Overview of Lady Luck and Big Sky routes.

The pitch 4 corner is the varnished dihedral on the right side of this alcove.

(START of Route) Mike belays P1 as Larry leads

"Small ledge system traversing left" on the way down (before rappels). This is actually the highest point reached during the route. Marked by several cairns.

Looking down the varnished corner of pitch 4. The belay at the top of pitch 4 is on the left. This picture was taken from near the beginning of the fifth pitch, above the large overhang.
