This is the left variation up New Era; it seems significantly easier than 5.7. Really fun and easily protected - just watch out for loose rock!

New Era at night.

First anchor completed and tag removed.

New Era route photo showing the belay alcove. Double rope rappel down from there -- or one more pitch to the top and hike down the south side.

Me approaching the 2nd belay.

A better view of the route from the base. The "right" start is on the right!

On pitch 1.

John jamming the lieback on New Era.

Steve Sellers enjoying the juggy third and final pitch of New Era.

Dan on the first pitch.

Shane leading New Era.

Summit.

Emily Poulain on the scramble, such beautiful rock!

Erik following New Era, just before the lieback.

New glue-in at the first anchor. Please wait until tag is removed to use this so that the glue has time to set properly.

New glue-in at the first anchor of New Era, installed 7/9/19. Please do not use until we have removed this tag and properly equalized with chain/screw-links. We hope to do that today or tomorrow. Thanks.

Sunset silhouettes on the top of New Era.

Looking back at the summit about a third the way down the walk off :)

John nailing the lieback on the 1st pitch.

Rapping down from the belay alcove.

On TR on the lower 30 feet of New Era. Vertical!

Beautiful pocket to belay from on the second anchor. Quite relaxing too.
