Birdland is the first track on "Heavy Weather" by Weather Report.

First pitch of Birdland

Birdland, pitch 1 variations. The first pitch as listed in the Brock guidebook follows the leftmost crack system (yellow dots). An alternate start follows a wider crack to the right (red dots). Both variations are about the same difficulty.

Brent Peters nearing the top of pitch 5. The climbing is sustained and delicate from here to the belay.

Looking down from the fourth belay station. A semi-hanging belay which obviously has great exposure

Birdland is also covered by String Cheese Incident on their "Carnival 99" album.

Birdland awash in climbers on March 23rd. Fun route, but very crowded -- even on a weekday!

It only gets more crowded. Quit Now.
