1975...about to start my first wall. Is that tree still there?

Amazing sunset at the top - El Cap in the background

Guano Ledge? What an odd name... Ohh, probably from that piece or two of guano or something. <br>

A poor sloping ledge that I was pooped on several times by angry birds while Tim linked P4-5

Emilio on Ahwahnee ledge

uber scary "4th class" traverse to the start of the climb. the most frightening part of the climb in my opinion. Scott carrying the pig

West Face of Leaning Tower. I'm not 100% about the accuracy here since this picture is at an angle, but it's the best I had to draw on.

some girl being described as not a gumby anymore! Jugging up to Ahwahnee

4 am whiskey visions on Ahwahnee ledge. A present left by a previous party.

Spring 1973. Can't believe this tree is still there. Scary 3/16" bolts.

Enjoying a tasty brew on the plush ledge on pitch 4.
