Halfway up the approach mike begged me to turn around. We would have bailed, but we didn't know how.

The first pitch

Another pic from the first ascent. Climbing past that damn bush made the second pitch a little harder and sketchier. Now you can get a piece of pro that was not possible before.

final scramble to reach the base

Darshan runs it out on the chimneys of the first pitch

great views across oak creek canyon

Rap location at the base of the route to avoid down climbing the mossy slab

This is a pic of Pat leading above the big bro anchor into the 4th pitch on the first ascent. I got to the ledge at the end of the flare pitch and yelled down to him not to weight the anchor as I stared at the bros wedged into the crack. The new bolt anchors are f'ing awesome!
