Pitch 6. The guidebook shows that you can climb the crack system on the left or right, both at 5.9. I went up the one on the left.

One of the 5.10 pitches, yeehaw!

Looking up at the first pitch, some gear available to keep your belayer steady. Use long slings to link without misery. Note this is from the higher band of rock above Broadway, use caution starting the route, this is an accident prone area.

Halfway up the offwidth-y pitch. Henry waving to the camera!

Unknown climber near the top of 2nd pitch after combining 1st two pitches. Photo taken at 10:19 AM from the top of the Chasm Wall Thursday, Sept. 18th, 2014. I had hiked up from the Boulder Field to watch the climbers and take in the view.

The crux pitch of Pevertival Sanctuary. Steep!

Pitch 5. We had 2 #3 and 2 #4, which seemed sufficient with some walking of the bigger pieces and back-cleaning whenever you could get in a smaller cam.

Paul Glover, most-ways up the wide crack.

Look at the butt on that guy.

Some nice exposure.
