New rappel anchor replacing the sling salad that was at the top of Surprise. Common rap station for the Land of The Giants wall. 35m to the ground, so use a 70m or make a stop at the next rappel tree.

Start of the easy dirty short chimney just before the top of surprise. You can avoid this by going up the wall on the right, a slightly more technical and interesting variation.
Bolts at the top of Surprise, with some schmucks biner stuck in the chains.

Start of Surprise
Looking down from halfway up first pitch of surprise.
Mid route belay station on surprise, however the route is fairly direct so you can do the whole climb in one pitch.

Martin leading pitch two. We decided to go right for some fun exposure, the left side gully is really overgrown, and the rock is more broken and loose than the gear on the right. A #3 can protect you at the first horizontal.
looking out left towards the Wine Colouir (often wet) from just below the midway belay station on surprise.
Jake at P1 Belay, about to bring up a third. Avoid touching the tree to the left if possible, it's not looking great.
