True Comfort ! Josh LeMay relaxes at the P3 belay "stance", or should we say "couch" ?!

Isaac at the start of the climb. The first two pitches (on the left) were wet on the day that we did it, so we went right when we did it.

Replaced the hanger and tightened both bolts. Eventually the left bolt should be fully replaced

Standing from Willey House parking lot, this is the rock face you need to get to. From this spot it vaguely looks like an elephant head looking right, with its trunk rising up to the sky.

Bolt hanger still broken (Sep 2021) on pitch two belay.

On the first pitch and using a bolt from A Bit Short, traversed across a blocky ledge that takes gear to anchors for another climb. (Admin. Note: most probably the climb "Direct")

Looking up pitch three with a fun corner system that takes great gear on the left. Here we went back on route for Lost In the Sun. After the corner are some fun slab moves with bolts for protection.

On the top of pitch 7!!!

Near the top of pitch six. Dave belaying. Up above is the last pitch which is short and was wet, and somewhat slippery as climbing in the water couldn't be avoided. Not worth doing pitch seven unless it is dry. Another set of anchors could be seen up to the right which might be an alternate finish.

Looking down pitch 3... actually we might have drifted onto "Direct" but it's all the same amazing view!

Isaac at the top of pitch two on a nice belay ledge which has two double bolt anchors.

Dave rappelling from the top of pitch seven with the Willey House site below. Note that the Willey Slide pull off is about a half mile north of the Willey House site.

Pitch 6 (I think)

Anchor broken off on top of pitch 2. The anchors for the route to the right are about10-15 feet to the right.

Looking up pitch two, we went right to avoid the water using bolts for another climb and gear. The moves were fun, and perhaps harder than 5.5. Lost In the Sun is off to the left in the water.
