The start of Birdland -

Birdland, pitch 1 variations. The first pitch as listed in the Brock guidebook follows the leftmost crack system (yellow dots). An alternate start follows a wider crack to the right (red dots). Both variations are about the same difficulty.

First pitch of Birdland

Looking down from the fourth belay station. A semi-hanging belay which obviously has great exposure

Brent Peters nearing the top of pitch 5. The climbing is sustained and delicate from here to the belay.

Birdland is also covered by String Cheese Incident on their "Carnival 99" album.

Pitch 4 - a bit wandering, just follow the chalk marks and you're at the anchors before you know it. Fun, sometimes techy slab. Take pro where you can get it.
