Do you see the white poofy rock at hip height? Yeah, we tried to warn him to avoid it but being new to the area and full of bravado he elected to give her a whirl despite our advise. He was fairly gripped and whining out loud when I snapped this slide. This climber did not have a good rock reading nose. Matt Penrod calms his nerves by utilizing Big Water spotting techniques. Not pictured is the can of Milwaukee's Best in Matt's left hand.
There are literally 1000's of low level traverses at the Big Waters. Climber is Matt Penrod
