Cannon AE-1

The idea is a star trail topo of stolen chimney. I did a 2.5 hour exposure. I'm going to shoot it again because it is not what I was looking for. It's not bad so I figured I'd share it. The sky went green on it's own during the long exposure, perhaps it was some aurora borealis (not likely, I think I would have noticed it, but cameras can capture color that we can't see) or maybe a hot sensor, or my polarizer filter caused it, I really don't know.

Mario descending from the corkscrew summit. That previous photo Cameron is Jimmy P, not me, and as you know its after a leap from the rim above all the towers and 2000' above the parking area. Cheers, where is your new FA in the system bro?

A fine evening on Ancient Art. Exposure is a little more manageable in the dark!

Stolen Chimney/Ancient Art Topo<br>

I climbed the route for my second time last week and figured I'd make this while the route was still somewhat fresh in my mind. <br>

A very comfortable rack would be 1.5 set of cams and a set of nuts. A single set of cams will suffice for more experienced leaders.<br>

EDIT 5/12/12: Updated to reflect bolt replacement.

We drove too far not to summit on my birthday!

Classic summit shot!

At the summit!

The Money Pitch

Start of the cool chimney pitch. Interesting bulge above the climber.

Yeeewww!!!

Matt with the Karate Kid summit.

Best moves on the route. Exposed, but juggy and well protected.

Ancient Angel

this is fun

Luckily it turned out that the raven is no longer the harbinger of doom, once thought to be.

Finishing after a stellar sunset

fighting the wind to summit Stolen Chimney! very cool line

one legged pose atop the ancient art. great day to climb at fisher tower.

Bowling Trophy

Good thing there's a bomber piton next to this piece of history

DO NOT DO THIS! We did not notice until a later ascent that this large block that Brent is yarding on is loose and held in place with mud. It looks like the perfect block to throw a sling over to protect the last move onto the belay ledge. If this baby goes, it will looks like it could just get funneled right down onto the first belay. Yikes!

A group of pals waiting for the summit pitch!
