4 am whiskey visions on Ahwahnee ledge. A present left by a previous party.

Spring 1973. Can't believe this tree is still there. Scary 3/16" bolts.

Emilio jugging in open air!!

West Face of Leaning Tower. I'm not 100% about the accuracy here since this picture is at an angle, but it's the best I had to draw on.

Enjoying a tasty brew on the plush ledge on pitch 4.

What a cool place to spend the night. Travis Strong enjoying the view.

1975, with Doug Rodda after topping out. Came back to Camp 4 to find my car broken into and all my gear stolen.

1975. Awesome exposure, Doug Rodda cleaning.
