Aid with a little bit of free, back in the day. Wayne cleaning the second pitch. Note the condition of the last bolt, which was a 1/4" rawl drive.
Hans reconsidering his beta after whipping off of the crux onto a tipped out .75. Yikes! If anything speaks to the difficulty of this crux, he is fresh off of an onsight of Darkstar. This picture doesn't give the brilliance of this crux pitch justice.
