Notice the gaiters, blown out armpit, RR's, dangling hammer with rack of pins above, flip-flop stoppers.

Rich Perch almost done with the crux. It's still hard though, until you're stood up and have stepped up and right. Rich is a little more advanced than I was with his PA's.
Classic! 1973 or 74 replacing the pin in the horizontal at the crux. I think the pin pulled out soon after (I never learned how to place pins properly).
Rich Perch falling.
I'm pretty sure this was my high point. See next photo where I'm belaying as Rich Perch is falling.
