Start of Crest Jewel Direct. It's _left_ of the giant right-facing corner (and way left of the huge arch).

Halfway up on my Dreamy rope solo of the Jewel!!

Dave Rone stepping off the dike at the start of the 3rd pitch.

Beauty views of half dome from Crest Jewel

Fred finishing. Pretty good views for the belayer to enjoy while yarding on the rope

Vic finishing last pitch...maybe '87...does this qualify as a "historical photo"?

On Gaia, if you zoom in on satellite view, you can see a path for North Dome Gully descent, and a way to the regular start. The pin is where we cut into direct start

Pitch 4 - Spectacular slab climbing!
