This photo was taken from the base of Genesis in April 2007. We watched Michael solo Hair City, NW Corner, West Buttress, and Outer Space...all in about an hour. I felt lucky to catch the show. This was only a couple weeks before the tragedy.

Just past the first bolt.

Ron Olsen above the second bolt on the first pitch. The climbing here is runout, but of moderate difficulty.

Jim Erickson on the first pitch of Hair City, a route he hadn't done in more than 30 years.

Blasting through the crux roof of P2. Pro is heady to get to, but it's there!

Ron Olsen on the airy traverse left near the top of the first pitch. His last three pieces of pro are a #.75 Camalot, a brass nut, and a runner threaded through a small hole.

Topping out on P1 of Hair City.

Ron Olsen almost through the mantel move near the start of the first pitch. The pin is by his left foot; a #00 Metolius TCU is by his left knee.
