Those pants are from Outer Space or funstigators.com.

Pitch one of Outer Space. Traverse right from the top of the second pitch of the Bastille Crack. The easiest line goes under the initial bulge, although many climbers go over the bulge judging by all the chalk.<br>
<br>
The upper corner requires chimneying, stemming and laybacking up to the rotten ledge.

The incredible final pitch of Outer Space.... You can see Kor's initials in the photo. Can you pick out the location?

A good view of the top pitch of Outerspace...my brother Mike at the belay.

P1 of Outer Space has a bulge that most people go under. I decided to try and go over and had my piece rip out... not completely sure what happened. My gear loop exploded, and half our rack ended up on the road, we bailed. 02/17/18.

Gear everywhere!

Taken in 9/1978 looking down P1 dihedral. Note tongue suggesting P1 can be tough. Also note the pre-improved washed out old road.

Sarah high up in Outer Space!

Stemming on the first pitch will take some of the sting out of it.

The same spot where Brad G. was traversing left that Scott Bennett took that people seemed to have confusion about. Brad G. was on route! You can also see the "LK" under the right foot adjacent to the rope.

Pitch 1 corrected to proper dihedral.

Phil Lauffen is a thug.

You can use a two piece system with the magic x for this section below the fixed piton.

I love this ride!

Fun placement for belay atop P1.

Big buckets and big smiles.

Not the best belay ledge but the initials of one of the greatest!
