Perfect moves on perfect rock.

About to get into the slab business, PC mlberke

Soloing the flake, one of the best 5.8's in the world.

Savoring the slab moves up top. Such an incredible finish! Thanks to Malibooty Mike for the photo!

The final slabby section on The Flake. I belayed just below this on top of the flake. Although the route can be climbed in a single pitch, belaying here minimizes the rope drag for the leader.

Decent finger-sized piece to be had here! Chimney is straightforward if you have the technique.

My friends climbing The Flake on a glowing Intersection Rock.

The super fun and thankfully fairly cruiser slab at the top of the flake!

Toss the #4!

The Flake. Note the wide chimney on the bottom and the run-out face at the top.

Atop the Flake; a good place to divide the pitch in two.

This is pretty much the crux. You can protect yourself here with a #4/#5 in the crack and a .2 or maybe in undercling. (You can use bigger but you will block the hold)

Roman having fun with the start of the flake - The crux for sure. A real Yosemite 5.8 chimney.

I think I got a little too high before moving over to the flake on the right.

This is the initial chimney section. I am smiling because I have a big cam placed above my head! Photo by Chris Parks.
