After getting stumped on P5 and ripping a few different pieces out of the wall, I finally found this enhanced hook placement, which is also being used as a free climbing hold.

Awww, shit. Losing the sun already?! But it was worth stopping for a pic.

Hanging out under the roof after the big swing! Incredible exposure.

Coming up the 5th pitch, second of aid.

A guy cleaning one of the upper pitches on the afternoon of March 6th. If that's YOU, let me know I have more photos if you want them...

Side view of the route, from down canyon.

Bailing because of too much traffic.

First 3 pitches marked. Green X is an anchor atop a pillar that may be useful to hauling parties, (Haul bag to here, then to top of P2.)

Cheese finishing the second to last pitch of spaceshot; a great intro route to do in a day casually.

The first rap starts on the big tree on the far right of the photo. After topping out head down and across some slabs towards this headwall.

Dan at the first pitch of aid.

Having fun climbing with the Pig on Spaceshot

Nice view from the river.

Getting into the splitter system in 2006. It just keeps going and going.

Very popular route, thus the traffic.
