Early exploratory picture of 'Squeeze Box' and 'Happy Camper' (left hand second pitch hand crack) before they were climbed

all buffed up..Bigfoot Was Here(the arete) and The Jolly Green Giant (right of the tree)

Here's the view from one pitch up on the northeast crag.

Lines climbers left of Premarital Blisters. Hard to tell what these are exactly-- cracks or seams?

Part of the Premarital Wall - It looks nasty here, all wet, but it is about 80 feet tall, just off vertical and covered with finger cracks. There is one route currently here, Premarital Blisters 5.11 that needs to be rescrubbed.

A better look at the offwidth/chimney Mark mentions in one of his photos. This thing looks really cool and won't need much cleaning (?!). Kinda of reminds me of a bigger, scarier version of London Bridges in Acadia. The arete to the left looks amazing and there is likely a face climb on the face facing the camera.

Deep in the NE jungle, Premarital Blisters - Needs a rescrub, but other than that it looks like a great climb.

The Green Gully<br>
This is a very foreshortened image of the big green gully that runs all the way up the full height of the two tiers about in the middle of the Eastern Crags. The top half of what you can see here is overhanging and about 30 feet across. I am pretty sure there is an upper section that is blocked from view from where I was shooting, and the gully runs down below where I was standing, at a lower angle. Judging from the wetness and position relative to the sun, I bet a ton of ice builds up here in the winter.

Top of the sharp orange arete

Mossy hand line rope used to descend little 3rd class slot down from the Main Cliff to the Beanstalk Wall. Okay, the part you hold wasn't green.

This is a smaller wall further NE than the premarital wall. Not great looking by the standards of Greens.

Potential two pitch route with 2 finishes in the middle of the Beanstalk Wall. (see http://www.mountainproject.com/v/108130438 ) It will need quite a bit of trundling and cleaning and a few bolts on the second pitches plus bolted anchors, but will be pretty classic if done. <br>
