Sunset on the superstitions

The route with the most webbing wins. :-) This is the summit belay & rappel station. From here it's a double-roped rappel back to the base.

Tell me more about this exposure you speak of...

Notice the headwall on the Third Pitch above Chicken ledge...its really positive on the left side with handholds...Two good (?) bolts and 1 manky one...Backed up with a directional piece on the one ledge halfway up third pitch...

The Hand is one of the most prominent features in the North Side of the park!

Jennifer belays from the Chicken Ledge.
