Last of my favs from 5-27 ... here's hoping you are active on MP or SoCal climbing and that these will get to you somehow

looking down from the belay atop pitch one. Betsy is above the 5.9 section, about to cruise through the 5-easy section before the belay.

The original line goes up the left crack system while the variation goes up the splitter crack about 30 feet to the right.
