1st & 2nd Pitch, waiting for the party of 5 in front of us..<br> <br> You can see about 4 people standing on the roomy ledge on top of the first pitch, while their leader starts the second pitch (I believe he's a bit too high in this photo, he should be traversing more to the right). You can see the obvious vertical crack of the first pitch, on the left.

Hawk (5.4). With smart placements and long runners, the first two "guidebook" pitches are easily linked - preferable since the shady belay treed atop p. 1 were wiped out in 2008 rockfall. <br>
Me (looking malnourished) at 15 years old and probably 125 pounds, circa 1978 at the top of Hawk. And trying to look like my hero Henry Barber with the hat.
