A deer got caught up in the fixed lines on the approach slabs. When we were Batmaning up, this carcass was supporting our weight. If the bones had snapped, we would have shockloaded the anchor...

Weeeee!!!

The Original Route

The second Red Dihedral Pitch.

I fits I sits

CAREFUL WITH FIXED LINES. This rope was sawed through and only hanging on by a piece of sheath. It held for multiple ppl that day, but it just took a quick hard pull to break it. The easiest way up w/out the rope is to the left of the water streak/groove.

yehaw!

Sewing up the upper pitches. Takes good gear in addition to the bolts.

Guy on the second red dihedral pitch

The crux of the "second" pitch. (Run the 5.6 first pitch and the 5.12 second pitch together.)

Exiting the "cave belay" on the last pitch.

Leading up one of the many 5.11 pitches low on the route.

Taylor rigging the bolted anchors at the top of the OG route. Photo taken from the tree anchor at the top of pitch 14, it took us an embarrassing amount of time to find the bolted anchors.

Tacky slab - keep on boogeyin'

Looking down from the top of the 11b roof pitch after linking 3 and 4. I had a blast on this!

This was a bit longer than it looked from below, but a fun way to do it if you've got enough slings.

Cool view for our first night on a ledge

Mike linking pitches 4 and 5.

A profound feeling at the top

Does feeding $500 to the Wild Burros mean you still have to pay the $500 fine?

The third pitch. 5.11b

Mike linking pitches 1 and 2.

Just below the awesome pitch 5 roof!
