Proof that the crack contracts and expands dependent on temperature!

Doing laps on Bishop Crack. Notice that you can belay from the ground if you have 2 ropes, and you'll pass the knot when the follower is securely in the wide slot. Having 2 ropes is also nice for a double rope rappel from the top anchor.

Someone put this nice stainless stud in next to the old one. It needs a hanger so if you are headed that way do everyone a favor and put a stainless nut and hanger on it. I can't imagine why the hanger is missing.
