Awww, shit. Losing the sun already?! But it was worth stopping for a pic.

Hanging out under the roof after the big swing! Incredible exposure.

After getting stumped on P5 and ripping a few different pieces out of the wall, I finally found this enhanced hook placement, which is also being used as a free climbing hold.

Bailing because of too much traffic.

Very popular route, thus the traffic.
