Double exposed at the Two Boulder Bivy. From a "new" roll of film Frosty sold me just before the climb, resulting in two salvageable shots from four Black routes between us. I believe that's John Huelett on the FA of Gonorrhea Wall in the background. <br> Photo: Frosty Weller, 9/88.

Waiting to be rescued from the ledge below the crux, after my back-breaking whipper...not my proudest moment.<br>

Starting off pitch 11.

Evan M. climbing through the tree at the top of the 5th (book) pitch. Psych is high with that root jug.

Lyle following pitch 8.

Pitch 1 variation. Pitch 1 & 2 variations have to be some of the very best granite crack climbing I have ever done.

Astrodog topo used on 1986 2nd ascent.

The return of the "lost" Astro Dog topo.

Before the fall.

Pizza Pasta!

Chris on the hand crack above the 2BB. You can see it at the bottom. Awesome pitch.

Fun, little hand traverse. The belayer is obviously distracted taking pictures, not taking up slack.

We weren't setting any speed records. P5, getting dark.

All this with no approach? Heaven!

Beta topo for Astrodog.

Traversing with the pig across the base of the South Chasm View Wall on an early ascent of Astro Dog. We approached via the SOB gully, which involves rock traverses on both sides of the river and crossing the river on large boulders. Kind of a burly way to go about it, but at the time there weren't any established rap anchors, and it made for a cool rim to rim traverse.<br>

Frosty chillin' at the Two Boulder Bivy. <br>

Morning Coffee on the smaller side of the Two Boulder Bivy ledge.

Got the pig to the top of the wall! Jason finishing up on Astro Dog.

Low on the route. The second pitch I believe.

The stellar handcrack on pitch 7, leaving the bivy ledge.

Pitch 1, above the boulders...
