This photo shows many of the routes in both the Central and Right-Side Gullies at the Fortress. It is now possible, with a little creativity, to link a complete circuit of both gullies.

Nicole nears the top of Rational Expectations, more than 300 feet above Sespe Creek, in the Central Gully of the Fortress.

Approach the formations by scrambling up a drainage gully in the bottom left of the picture.

This photo portrays the evidence of past activity that I was able to uncover [and has been recently revised]. Please post additional evidence and information on the appropriate page. "Hardware store anchor" refers to what appear to be externally-threaded sleeve bolts--I was able to remove a similar bolt with my fingers (no tools required).

Heavy rain and snow fall throughout the Winter of 2010/11 has meant wading across Sespe Creek to access Potrero John and the Fortress. It may be a while until you can get across without getting wet.

The Fortress, Right Side Gully. This gully includes the two arete climbs "Free to Choose" (5.8) and "Permanent Income Hypothesis" (5.9)

Climber at The Fortress, Sespe Gorge.

This photo shows the traverse from the base of PIH and Capitalism & Freedom to the top of the first pitch of Free to Choose. Romain is standing very near the P1 anchor on Free to Choose.<br>

Using the first pitch of Free to Choose to approach and descend from PIH and other routes is preferable to the using the loose Class 3 gully.

This photo shows the three major routes on the right side of the Fortress. From right to left, these are "Free to Choose" (5.8), "Permanent Income Hypothesis" (5.9+), and "Capitalism & Freedom" (5.10a).
