Sam Dorsey entering the dihedral, en route to Desdichado.

This is where C'est la Vie and Desdichado (13+) split.

Myself getting ready for the crux pitch.

Sam contemplating the next moves, about to break left to join Desdichado.

C'est La Vie pitch 2, mystifying 5.11b.

Samuel Toillion at the crux of pitch one.

Bolt for broken pin (rusty remnant visible directly to the right of the bolt).

The crux of the first pitch is pulling over the slanting ceiling protected by a terrible-looking pin. You clip the bolt after completing the move, or you can lunge for the clip like I did once (missed) and fall on the pin (it held).

Above the crux.

After the undercling moves on the big flake. You approach these moves from the tiny, left-facing corner on the right. The bolt above the crux is just below the climber. You can put a big cam in the flake (blue/#3 Camalot) but would it hold, or would it blow the flake?

Nearing the second flake.

The third hard part of the first pitch!!

Mike Robinson leading P1.

Joshua Janes starting the thin second pitch by placing gear as high as he can. I don't blame him.

A 70m rope on the easy P2 variation TR.

Yank hard enough with a small-medium nut, and the first move is less scary and the hold is still useable.
