Looking up at Bastille Crack.
Steve Baskis on the first pitch of The Bastille Crack. Steve is completely blind, and this was his first ever multi-pitch climb.

Bill Fitzgerald at the base of the bastille, on 9/29/03, taken by Phil Rhoads, as we gear up for the climb. This pic is actually several overlapping photos stitched together, all from the same position across the road, that gives an interesting perspective of the route. What a great climb!
