Jams and friction.

Alternate right start, 5.8+. Also, a way to get climbs such as 5.7 Cracks, Water Streak II.

Looking through the "roof" slot.

Starting up the first pitch.

I decided at this point to do it as one pitch, I recommend it.

I really liked the moves through the roof.

Nice jams.

Leading it!

Pulling over....

Looking down Edward's Crack from the top. As can be seen, the middle belay ledge is large enough to hold at least three climbers.

Scott pausing below the belay station.

Coming up to the first belay, right before the tagline came off my harness, still not sure how it happened, but it made the rap down pretty interesting.

When your cams walk into the crack too deep to reach, the "Leeper Friend of a Friend" works great!

Such a fun intro to climbing in the Voo!

Having fun on Edward's Crack.

Lead away!
