Mike has just passed the "crux" moving into the other crack. However, the hard stuff is not over. This pitch is long and pretty sustained.
1974, homemade harness, painters pants, EBs, and hexes. I don't seem to have much of a rack...them were the days.

Heading up the original last pitch.
Below the upper crux.
Looking down the crack to the first belay.
Starting the first pitch.
Headed up pitch 2.
This was taken on August 10, 2008. Rain moved in around 1:30 PM and these climbers were caught high on Femp. You can see them as huddled mass near the right hand side of the Book. I think that there were at least 3 in the party, but maybe more. It's difficult to make out in the picture.
