Bob at the second crux. He's clipped the first bolt, and now has to work his feet up and high-step/mantle onto the slab.
Bob at the crux. He's got to step onto his right foot (slippery sloping foothold) and reach high right for a good edge.

Tony B. just past the crux of Water World having placed a piece. The blue Alien below protecting the crux is less than perfect.

Bob D, wet but happy after the first ascent.
We got a little wet wading the creek, and then got soaked from a sudden rain shower that hit while we were climbing...calling the route Water World seemed appropriate.<br> <br> Photo by Bob D'Antonio.
