Chain anchor atop Straw Turkey pitch 1. A 70 will get you down from here.
Cable anchor, June 2022 - the cable has been covered with webbing and additional webbing loops added. Note the blue aramid sling is not part of fixed anchor.

Paul enjoying the crux finger section of Straw Turkey.
The 5.8 OW . . . got a #3 Big-Bro in at the start but still walked a new C4 #5 two times and then got a #4 in.
1/3 up the 2nd pitch, this part was a lot of fun 5.7ish. The OW is still out of sight about 30ft up.
Start of the 2nd pitch.
Straw Turkey 1 pitch just before the thin stuff at the top.
