Anders stuck in the chimney on pitch one. The Euro sport climber is still having fun in the chimneys!

Out of the sun on a cold day. On the ledge after the crux pitch

Blue line is the original Kor-Ingalls second pitch. There is one bolt on the left wall of the crack. Going this way means you get to use the cool hueco, circled in green. Pro your second for the traverse back right.

Probably 1975. Long before "50 Classics" times. First of many, many times climbing it - seemed like a yearly thing

Hanging around on the Kor- Ingalls route.

Anders, the Euro Sportclimber, still smiling with 400ft of air below his feet. N Face rap off Casleton with parties on the Rectory's Fine Jade in the background.

Pitch 4: Why settle for the fun 5.7 face to the right when you can continue the classic wideness in the 5.9 slot to the left?

In the second section of pitch 1.

Why it's best to have a plan B for K-I.

Swearing and rope tension prove to be an effective combo as Brandi escapes the Pitch 3 calcite hellhole.

(L-R) Eli Powell and Brian Wandzilak show they are mentally prepared for what awaits.
