Climbing and leading the once installed bolt ladder on Headstone Rock in the mid 70's. This bolt ladder was installed by the Riverside Search and Rescue Team. The route was chopped in the late 80's and once was a great practice climb for direct aid climbing.

Scooter having a great time on the SW Corner. I looked at this photo again and thought, if you are higher than the sun, how could life be better?
