The leaves are starting to get some color... And my Dad is finishing up the final slabs on the Birches...
Some beta to help you get to the right spot. Three Birches is obvious once you get up the right trail.

You'd want a smoke too if you were laybacking a granite slab in brand new PAs. P1 of Three BIrches. 1974
Some beta to help you get to the right spot. Three Birches is obvious once you get up the right trail.
The start
Under the roof of Three Birches
Looking down pitch 1, some of the best climbing on the lower left wall.
The runout at the end.
P2 Right before awesome finger crack - "Which way?"... "That way"
Mike C. coming up on P1 belay.
Moves right after 1st gear placements. This was the crux of P1 for me.
