This is what the start of the route looks like.<br>
Start on the left, traverse out right.

Looking out to where you would end p4, from where you would start p5. With my self, and Marilyn!

Great Bro placement!

Tunnel Vision pitch 6, exit traverse.

Example of some of the available gear on the tunnel pitch. One might argue that it is merely psychological, as it is all a bit small, but it makes the pitch feel a bit more secure.

Worth every minute getting up there<br>

David Andretta looking over the ledge with the dried out pee-puddle. It smells there. Don't put your hand in it. That's the extent of my useful beta for this climb.<br>

I might be full of it, and this might actually be the beginning of the tunnel pitch, but there definately is a ledge with a urine pool.

Tunnel Vision pitch 5.

The top! :)

Half way up the 6th pitch you reach a ledge. You can go straight up the crack/overhang or traverse left. Pictured here, I'm halfway through the traverse, soon to finish at the rope coil.
