As Brenda starts up pitch 4, far below the rafts provide additional entertainment. In the front raft, a man fell out and they're trying to get him back into the raft.

Nearing the end of pitch #4.

<em>Eds.</em> The red line deviates at the black roof on P2 from Solid Gold onto Furlough Day. Solid Gold's P2 is on the lighter gray rock to the right of the red line on P2.

Awesome view from the top. Climbed this route in May when the scenery was green and the creek was high.

Tricia Bonman topping out after starting via the PTO P1.

A view of the nice ledge right below the first set of anchors. Rather than doing a hanging belay, it's easier to set up the anchor, then lower down the 10 feet to this ledge to belay from.

My first climb post quarantine lockdowns!

On the 2nd belay ledge :)

For the person who was climbing on 9/1/22, I have this shot of you. Message me if you want me to send it to you!
