One of my favorite pitches in the park. <3

Unknown climber following P1 after unclipping the first bolt. The leader trailed a rope which is used to good effect protecting the second from taking a big swing.

My buddy Aaron Porter leading Rosy - his first pitch in Eldo, temps were in the upper 20s. "That was scarier than El Cap."

Unknown climbers on the second pitch. Shot taken from the Fowler Trail across the canyon.

The first pitch, circa 1990.

Almost to the traverse on the last pitch.

Brad White at the 1st belay. My first time up Rosy, his 20 something-th time doing the route.

Taken from the belay after the traverse, awesome position, but not sure it deserves PG-13.

One of the best pitches in the entire canyon!

Unknown climber nearing the top of P2 after linking P1 and P2. This and the next few photos were shot from the tree at the top of Slimey Spoon/Vertical Smile near the upper south edge of the Lower Ramp.

Adam halfway through this amazing line!

If you look close enough, you can just BARELY make out his big grin. Job well done mate!

BrianB on the Rosy traverse. I could just reach to clip the 1st bolt...whew. Swapped leads with Bill Farrand. Nice route!

Finishing up the traverse.

William is ecstatic after finishing pitch 3; his hardest lead since his psych-out fall!

Chris Bisch checking it out. He said 5.10 climbing is not considered onsighting, haha.

Quality climbing.

Rosy, a dream come true!

Adam taking his first step into the abyss!

Sorry for posting this Adam, but it's a great shot!

The same move Derek Hersey is doing in the iconic pic of him soloing this.

Adam at the halfway point between both cruxes.

From here, you can rest it out before the last hard move or continue up and to the right on easier terrain.

Where the right foot is are some bomber foot holds. You can also do the splits here to reach the better foot holds on the other side. This is the crux in my opinion.

Adam topping out!

A beautiful, no hands rest before the second pitch.

The Rosy crux being done by AdamShep.

Still thinking it's all good on the start of Rosie...

Finishing on Rosie's 3rd pitch--almost home, but so far to go!

Joe showing some teeth...

Dan R. finding that following this pitch is also zesty.

This unknown climber following P1 is between the first and second bolts.

Nice ass, but an even nicer lead up the start of pitch two. Shawn "sacks up" and takes it on.

Unknown climber looking pretty small near the top of P2.

To the unidentified party behind us who were nice to let me take pictures of them! I have just a few more of interest, PM if you'd like me to email them.

Chris maybe halfway up the second pitch, linking it as one.
