This is what we took up to bring the anchors up to speed. You can thank the ASCA. Not all of these were used.

Enjoying a cold PBR on the saddle between Echo and <br>
Cottontail.

Alan on pitch 7 of Cottontail, just before starting the traverse.

Alan following pitch 6 of Cottontail.

Another choice anchor on West Side Story. Many <br>
hangers were old chopped arrows or blades. Super <br>
bomber.

Matt on the the shoulder(top of pitch 9) Note the bloody leg.

Ben humping the rock on pitch 5.

Starting up pitch 4 to the saddle. You brought the <br>
tricams didn't you?

Me almost to the end of the chossy third pitch. The traverse from the main mud crack right to the anchor ledge is exciting. Photo by Derek.

Sam Lightner (?) on the summit, drilling new anchors.

Choice anchor on West Side Story.
