Whoa... Chimney climbing in Sedona without a shirt, now that's out there!

and if it's a FA why did he stop to drill a bolt just below what looks like a bomber cam placement? Or did he hang on the cam while drilling the bolt?

To answer the above questions/comments...

Paul while I am climbing in a chimney, there are no back-to-the-wall chimney moves on it; it is all stemming. Also I realize it appears as though my back is against the other wall, but it is only b/c of the camera angle.

T-Dog & Yarp, although Mark wrote it as "FA", to be more specific it was the first free ascent. This route was developed by Jake Dayley & Kole Decou,and Mark & I did the FFA. Also I realize it appears that the bolt is right next to the cam placement, but I assure you it is not. The camera view makes it hard to tell the distance. Kole isn't exactly known for excessive bolting, and I have yet to hear of anyone that finds that bolt extraneous.
