The Southwest face of the Wind Tower, showing the location of the new bolted rappel anchor.

Breezy and Wind Ridge. Walk off after two pitches, or continue to the summit.

Awkward move off of belay ledge at start of 3rd pitch.

Another shot of the 5.8 start. A one-move wonder, not too hard.

Silhouetted on a warm March day.

Wind Ridge with the flake start. The first two pitches can be combined with a 60m rope. Many parties walk off after the second pitch, but the third pitch is a unique and worthwhile finish.

Yvonne D'Andrea leading the second pitch.

Peter about to finish pitch 1, right before him and his partner put a core shot in their rope, retrads....

Cheryl leading the 5.8 variation.

Climber on Wind Ridge.

Kurt Komarnitsky catches some rays on the belay ledge for pitch number 2.

Wind Ridge from the bottom.

The opening sequence. Follow the chalk :-)

Mike Harris and company at P2 belay station for Wind Ridge. In the background, at the bottom, you can make out climbers on the Bastille.

Off the ledge.

2nd pitch of Wind Ridge, Eldorado Canyon. Just off the belay.

The odd cruxy boulder-like butt-rest. This actually wasn't at all as hard to protect as I've heard.

Weird butt-rest on pitch 3.
