Gertch's Folly roofs--spring 1975<br> <br> Glen Banks on lead, Karl Kiser on belay
Gertch's Folly Topo
Start of the route, with Ian Harris leading and Dylan Boyd belaying.
Coming around the corner high on Gertch's Folly.
Edmund Ward on Gertch's Folly. With permission from Chris O'Brien.
Dylan Boyd creeping up to the first crux roof on P6. Note that he neglected to clip a piton near his right knee (I recommend clipping it).
Ian Harris belaying Dylan Boyd on P5. A fall probably wouldn't be terrible, but whether following or leading, turning this corner this is the spiciest part of the route for me.
Upper part of P3, with Ian Harris visible at the anchors above and Dylan Boyd following the most protectable/easier path (orange rope path also goes) .
Ian Harris headed up the chimney on P4.
Tito Alvidrez leading P2.
