The last moves before the first 5.9 chimney belay (leaders note that the belay is behind and climber's right as you are facing toward the chimney)

Roman "shadow warrior" doing the final 4th class traverse - totally covered in black (and white) ice - at night, illuminated by the glow of vegas and the nervous gaze of our headlamps

for once it helps to be shorter

Finally coming out onto the face after the chimnneys

Going over the signature hump on the chimney pitch.

Near the Summit of Black Velvet Peak.

On the Eplephant Trunk, such deserved jugs

No holds, just squeeze

Coach Bombay!

Spectacular chimneying

one of the upper 5.7 pitches, so steep for so long...

Pitch 8 of Epinephrine--the super good stuff! April 2017. Note at least ten climbers on the rest of BV wall below and to the right of the climber.

Patrick off the Elephant's Truck. Man this route is STEEP!

Blue collar climbing!

The famous chimney pitches of Epinephrine

Epinephrine

Added some emergency supplies to the stash. Obviously leave some for the next person, but if you need it, take it.

Sunrise from the top of the first pitch. October 25th 2017

spotted near the rap tree on pitch 3, good to know only certified climbers are tackling this serious route

This fairly disorienting image really captures Keith's experience on this pitch I think haha...

final exposed ramp leading to the class 2 jaunt to the summit

Epinephrine Walk Off

The pitch off "The Elephants Trunk" is possibly the best pitch on the route.

the second 5.9 chimney pitch (a nice handcrack provides a brief break from the offwidths/chimney)

Higher in the last chimney. It's almost a sport climb:-)

3rd pitch of the chimney.. awesome!

Start of the route

The descent from Black Velvet Peak

The big view of Epi. The climb pretty much ascends 2/3 of the way up the varnished wall, just right of the big white buttress, and finishes on that ramp sloping up and right.

Looking up at Epinephrine in a brief glow of morning light.
