The traverse right to the small, fun overhang move on the 2nd pitch. My partner hung tags at each piece of gear, proposing to me on this climb!

There was a diamond engagement necklace hanging on the last piece. I said yes!

Having fun on the P2 Arete. Doesn't get better for a 5.3!

The start

The awkward chimney on Layback. Feels like it wants to spit you out the whole time.

Getting ready..

Myself on P2. My first Trad Lead.

Eric leading out on P2. Gear much?

Just below the layback section on P1.

Looking back at the P1 belay.

This is the perfect example by Dan Jump of how to protect the traverse and to make sure that you don’t give yourself rope drag. If you do place a piece far out on the aret make sure you put a double length sling to extend it before you head sraight up

Posing

The obvious line! At the top the route traverses out through the roof via a face that can be seen through the "V" of the tree at the top of the photo. The crux of Slingtime (11 something) traverses right below the orange roof at the far top right of the photo.
