Blasting through the crux roof of P2. Pro is heady to get to, but it's there!

This photo was taken from the base of Genesis in April 2007. We watched Michael solo Hair City, NW Corner, West Buttress, and Outer Space...all in about an hour. I felt lucky to catch the show. This was only a couple weeks before the tragedy.

Just past the first bolt.

Ron Olsen above the second bolt on the first pitch. The climbing here is runout, but of moderate difficulty.

Jim Erickson on the first pitch of Hair City, a route he hadn't done in more than 30 years.
