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.
Jim Erickson on the first pitch of Hair City, a route he hadn't done in more than 30 years.
Chris Dawson on Hair City.
Ron Olsen above the second bolt on the first pitch. The climbing here is runout, but of moderate difficulty.
FKGA (first known glizzy ascent) of Hair City 3/2/2024. <br> <br> With permission from Shawn Todd.
Ron Olsen on the airy traverse left near the top of the first pitch. His last three pieces of pro are a #.75 Camalot, a brass nut, and a runner threaded through a small hole.
Blasting through the crux roof of P2. Pro is heady to get to, but it's there!
Topping out on P1 of Hair City.
