Donovan Spaulding onsighting the 5.10+ 2nd pitch....such a sick pitch!

Leading 4th pitch on wet rock on the 1st ascent, June 7, 1969. The 3/8 inch bolt was added in this location years later by another climber. Photo taken by Sam Streibert.

Pitch-4 start. Crimpy 5.9. Starts through uninspiring rock diagonally right, but going up and over the headwall in the center is interesting!

Looking up at the Cow's Mouth from the anchors of Pitch-6.

All sunshine

The Cow's Mouth, from the 1 bolt, 2 pin anchor on the left side. The roof crack goes out of the right side, and some horizontals move up out of the left side. Anchors are right after reaching the slabs.

Pitch-5 Slab start with 1 bolt, very stiff! 50 Favorite Climbs called this pitch 5.11-. Path veers left to shallow corner with a fixed cam (purple .5 if I remember).

New pitch 6 as of 8/2/19. There used to be dark thick column here. It's less protected now.

You can see old brown bolt. It total crap.
