At the crux on Trisstin's Tower. <br> <br> After cramming all the gear you can in that pod below me, it's tiny offsets and hand placed peckers to reach the good crack on the left. <br> <br> Wheeee.... <br>

Expect many of these....

A fairly high res shot of the tower with Marcus leading and myself at the belay. Thanks Brian for taking these shots for us.

Looking down the first pitch

Marcus on the fine Pitch 2. Small wires are the key here. Take your time...and dont fall...haha

A big thanks to Ben Kiessel who jugged back up our fixed line to get these shots!

Myself on Pitch 1. This pitch easily goes clean with small wires, loweballs and small cams.

Climbers at P1 belay and P2 belay. April 2004 ascent.

Steve, after the crux of p2 on the FA

Hand placed peckers?.... Oh yeah, that's the good stuff!

Nearing the end of p2 on the FA.

View from the basin.

Looking up the first pitch.

View from the early AM approach. April 2004 ascent.

Preparing to get off the summit. It was worth it to start this tower late in order to be up there at sunset.

Looking up from the base, about to reach easier ground on p2 of the FA.

Cleaning pitch one. You can get a good look at the size of the crack. This is the largest section of the first pitch. The start is thinner.

Stellar

The first ascent . . . rapped off from the first belay to take the shot, then jugged back up. Steve's leading the second pitch, Jon belaying.
