Thanks to Alex Jansen who snapped this photo on Saturday. Pitch 1 of Rincon is SUPER fun!

Looking up past the red band at the crux dihedral.

Mark Erickson - 2005.

Pitch 2 as good as it looks. Plenty of fixed pins and easy placements for small to mid-sized cams.

Zack cranking the gloved send of Rincon!

Unknown climbers descending Rincon - 4/27/07.

Proud to hold her rope that day.

Mike is enjoying the first pitch....

Pitch dos.

About half way up P2. Chuck is 3rd on the rope--it's not a runout about this.

Nearing the top of P2. The Screamer is due to lack of draws, not bad gear.

Luke Clarke moves toward the upper crux of P1 while P2 beckons in the sun. Look at that dihedral!

Ivan clips the suspect pin before finding a nut placement to back it up before tacling the crux (getting over the bulge on the right skyline).

The start of the often skipped Pitch 4 of Rincon is a fun roof followed by good crack and very moderate slab climbing. Trouble is, that's only half of it. You have to cross about 100 feet of choss to get to the walk down. Better to rap. Now we know why everyone does it that way.

This is a photo Joseffa stopped to take of the gear in question on 'Rincon' the last time we did the route. Note the "bad" pin that is at chest level, and the bomber stopper placed above it. For reference, that blue sling is 1-foot long. The flake just left of the placement is a jug. You can both see and place the stopper when the pin is at your arm-pit.

Pitch 4 (don't skip) It is very easy to walk off a ledge to the left after the fun crack....
