From the tiny ledge atop P.5...Do any of the rest of you ever wonder how in the world we can be so comfortable in bizarre spots like this?

The wonderful P2. We're a long way from NH! A great day alone on Black Velvet Wall.

Matt and Andy head up the 2nd pitch.

The never ending P2!!!

Dean leading the excellent Pitch 9 of DOWT...

Pitch 6, the most fun of all. Incredible position and rock.

Robbie on the hanging belay

pitch 4, one #4 was nice for the first bit of this 170' pitch, make sure to have extensions on the gear. I clipped the tag line into the second bolt to make the delicate moves to the anchor then lowered to get it back.

Exhausting, this enjoyment of pitch after pitch after pitch of spectacular climbing. Mar 2015.

Looking down on Pitch 2, glad I decided to take that extra gear. I felt with the off balance nature of this pitch it was the crux of the route.

Pitch 3, the traverse. Fun big holds.

My good friend Keith having fun on DOWT

After a day on Black Velvet. Beat? Sure. Happy? Inexpressibly. Rodents ate our stashed PB&J sandwiches? Of course!

Pitch 5, a short yet spicy pitch to a great stance.

Janet working out the thin moves on the awesome P5 traverse.

Snapped a photo of these gents while on rappel after climbing PoD. Hope they find it!
