With a single 60m rope, we were able to *just barely* rap back down to the ledge that Jon is belaying from in this picture (knot the end of your rope!) and downclimb ~30ft via the obvious 5.5-5.6 crack in the photo.

Replaced anchor 6-10-21. It had been 5 bolts of varied quality that were not easily equalized.

Not all opt for the lie back. Regina can't get enough of that disappearing crack!
