Me wedged in so tightly I had my belayer tie me off and take a picture.

Another nice shot of Vertigo, taken from the belay above Reppy's Crack.

Looking down from near the end of the P5 offwidth.

First Ascent:-July/1971. Starting the Half Moon Crack belayed by John Bragg. Cannon Mt. New Hampshire

FA of Vertigo 1971 . Note no protection on the half moon crack.

this is a collage i made from photos taken by Brian Winslow... i like the way im sitting at the belay down and left and im also leading the cresant moon variation up and right... it might look a little funky cause its a photo of photos but i dont have a scanner...

Another nice shot of Vertigo, taken from the belay above Reppy's Crack.

See the Giant valley cam beghind for protection.

Guy following the beautiful thin cracks half way up Vertigo.

Much to my chagrin, my second was able to layback the entire offwidth.

Keep your anchors SEREENE. Anything less than an equalized 12 point cam nest is disgustingly irresponsible and a sign you don't have the knowledge to be up here

9" Valley giant works well in the half moon crack.

This is a map of vertigo up to the roof... sorry i havent done the top yet... the red line is the cresent moon variation...<br>
zoom in for detail...

Another look at the half moon off width. A #5 camalot will not fit.

Another pendulum photo. For some reason, I thought I was going for a jug, but really, I was swinging to only find a couple crimps. Photo by Dan, Sept 2007. Awesome and challenging route.

Cory on Pitch 2 penji.

A little blurry but this generally shows the start of the first pitch, which ends at a small ledge below the triangular roof in the top center. Photo by Sam L.

Edge cruising the 3rd pitch.

Derek on P4.

Normally this is P3, but Derek lead through after the P2 pendulum to make one long pitch.

Derek Hanrahan about to lower off the P2 pendulum. He then continued up the normal P3 to make one monster lead.
