| Entering the "low angle" dihedral. Although it is indeed low angle, it's not particularly easy. | CO : Lyons : ... : Iced Tea (5.8+) | | Nov 14, 2009 |
| Just above the crux move. Above this the angle eases off, and the climbing is at most 5.8. | CO : Lyons : ... : Lithophyte (5.10a) | | Nov 14, 2009 |
| After the last hard move. After the first two juggy moves you end up on big feet and crimps. One more high step, and you're done. Photo by Lenny Miller. | CO : Boulder : ... : Vergin' on Perversion (5.11c R) | | Sep 20, 2009 |

| Near the top of the 10 approach. I was getting rope drag from the blocks down low, but I don't think the rope was running as badly as it looks in this photo. Photo by Lenny Miller. | CO : Boulder : ... : Vergin' on Perversion (5.11c R) | | Sep 20, 2009 |

| Switching cracks is relatively easy. You'll want a #1/red Camalot for the crack on the right. | CO : Boulder : ... : Asahi (5.10c R) | | Sep 20, 2009 |
| On the last hard moves on P2. P2 felt harder to us than P1. At Lenny's waist is a few inches of sharp-edged finger crack that, if your fingers fit, would make this easier. For us, it was too thin and | CO : Boulder : ... : Asahi (5.10c R) | | Sep 20, 2009 |
| Just after the first crux. The second bolt is to Lenny's left. | CO : Boulder : ... : Asahi (5.10c R) | | Sep 20, 2009 |

| At the top of the last pitch you can turn left with back against the right wall and get a break from the jamming. The crack gets wider, and the last moves to the top are cruxy. | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| Still hard! Getting through the "A"-shaped alcove below Paul is quite hard. Where Paul is is straightforward splitter jams but sustained. Higher up it gets a little strange as it gets wider. | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| At the final hard moves of the P4 crux crack. You really have to milk the (only) several rests on this pitch. I did not successfully do that on this attempt.Photo by Paul Rezucha. | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| The P3 "5.9" layback was the easiest part of the climb. If you're into that sort of thing, you may be able squeeze through the slot and avoid the layback. The P4 crux crack is visible at the | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| Cleaning the second belay at the start of P3. The start of P3 is a 5.9 traverse straight sideways from the edge of this ledge/flake. If you lack the hand-sized gear to belay here, you can place some s | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| Midway up this long second pitch you move right to the other crack. The entire pitch is quite difficult and awkward. It felt like 5.9 to me when I led it this year. | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| The thin hands to fingers crack is gnarly with sharp knobs. As it leans to the left it gets easier.Photo by Paul Rezucha. | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
| You can squeeze through (maybe) from the inside to this position, or you can climb the outside and then swing into the squeeze. From here it's a struggle to reach the jams at the base of the crack.Pho | CO : South Platte : ... : Better Lock Next Time (5.10b) | | Aug 20, 2009 |
