Aiding out the Roof

Free climbing topo for the GM, though there should be enough beta for an aid climber to make a solid go of it as well.

Local Ashvillian Cole Casserly linking p3 & 4.....tall man beta.

Fritz luxuriates at the belay. (We were a bunch of nancy boys and aided the route)

For those of us not cranking 5.13 this still makes a great aid line.

Some of the older fixed pro on P-1. The pin is definitely not an original but it still broke with only a tap or two as it was being removed. A single bolt (#2) was used to replace these two pieces (summer of 2013).

P2 variation

Scott aiding the 3rd pitch, GM.

The choss 2nd pitch.

Chad and Lee racking up for a go on the crux 5.13 pitch of the Menagerie. Lee cruised this pitch second go.

p3 got strange for us we stayed right for too long and ended up in this flaring chimney which was off route i think a2+ and busting some free moves not ideal with a full aide rack. we ended that pitch 15 feet up and 15 right of that anchors and built a belay and got back out route the rocks a little brittle left above that chimney
