A different perspective of the final moves of the top pitch.

Topo.

As Brenda starts up pitch 4, far below the rafts provide additional entertainment. In the front raft, a man fell out and they're trying to get him back into the raft.

Nearing the end of pitch #4.

<em>Eds.</em> The red line deviates at the black roof on P2 from Solid Gold onto Furlough Day. Solid Gold's P2 is on the lighter gray rock to the right of the red line on P2.

Awesome view from the top. Climbed this route in May when the scenery was green and the creek was high.

Free hotdogs on Hooky.

Tricia Bonman topping out after starting via the PTO P1.

A view of the nice ledge right below the first set of anchors. Rather than doing a hanging belay, it's easier to set up the anchor, then lower down the 10 feet to this ledge to belay from.

My first climb post quarantine lockdowns!

Sent!

Henry on the well exposed final pitch.

Rod pulling his second lead ever - on sighting it. The roof to the right looks epic.

For the person who was climbing on 9/1/22, I have this shot of you. Message me if you want me to send it to you!

<em>Eds.</em> The rope actually goes from the start of Furlough Day onto the upper part of P1 of Solid Gold.

Yeeeeeeehew.

John nears the top of the 2nd pitch (actually Solid Gold's P2) while Rob belays.

Kevin is on the 1st pitch of the route that leads into Playin' Hooky.

Enjoying PH....

I'm following Kevin up the first pitch of Playin' Hooky after completing the 1st 2 pitches of Solid Gold.
