PB takes its toll.

The tree provides motivation in more ways than one. It assists in hanging the draws, and the threat of punji sticking yourself on it keeps you from falling at the crux.
Not sure about a crux up high, but this is definitely the stopper move for me. Big throw with smeary feet....<br> <br> We put our packs on top of the tree to help prevent any, errr, impalement?

Ian cranking through the crux of Power Bulge.
The old hardware pulled from Power Bulge -- these are the allen-key bolts, and the stud is only about 1/2-inch long. They were all rusted, as well, and are probably only locked in about three or four threads deep inside the sleeve.
Chad Volk climbing through the beautiful colors of Power Bulge just before the anchors.
Paul above the steep and crimpy face.
Liz sending.
Mike moving into the upper crux.
