Following the pitch three traverse

Simul soloing DOWT on a perfect day. P2 is not to be missed!

Janet contemplating the routes crux, P4.

Matt and Andy head up the 2nd pitch.

An example of P9 & P10 bolting ethics.

Pitch 5 traverse 5.9+

The wonderful P2. We're a long way from NH! A great day alone on Black Velvet Wall.

Just before the pitch 3 traverse

From the tiny ledge atop P.5...Do any of the rest of you ever wonder how in the world we can be so comfortable in bizarre spots like this?

at the top of ten, heading down

The never ending P2!!!

To my poor 8.5mm 60...RIP

Dean leading the excellent Pitch 9 of DOWT...

Pitch 6, the most fun of all. Incredible position and rock.

Vaino Kodas, coming across the p3 traverse

pitch 4, one #4 was nice for the first bit of this 170' pitch, make sure to have extensions on the gear. I clipped the tag line into the second bolt to make the delicate moves to the anchor then lowered to get it back.

Exhausting, this enjoyment of pitch after pitch after pitch of spectacular climbing. Mar 2015.

Robbie on the hanging belay

Looking down on Pitch 2, glad I decided to take that extra gear. I felt with the off balance nature of this pitch it was the crux of the route.

Pitch 3, the traverse. Fun big holds.

My good friend Keith having fun on DOWT

After a day on Black Velvet. Beat? Sure. Happy? Inexpressibly. Rodents ate our stashed PB&J sandwiches? Of course!

A lead fall for Gigi results in a badly sprained ankle and a premature end to the day's climbing.
