Sunset graces the Valley, as seen from the top of Manure Pile Buttress.

P.3 - Showing belayer at the top of p.2, on the pedestal. Route goes up and slightly right to a nice belay ledge at the end of p.3

Majority of the route. Pitches 3, 4, 5, 6 are visible. Belaying my daughter to the summit on the last pitch.

After Six first pitch on left. After Seven first pitch on right.

At the start of "After Six" April '78

Looking down After Six (note climber wearing running shoes and a swami belt), April 1978

Looking down the hardest 5.6 in the world (very fun though)...

Lauren at the top of after six.

Don't forget to rack doubles on beer

Rope solo on After 6... what a great way to finish the day...

Beatiful views

Sandra on lead - After Six.

After Six follows the well worn path on the left and then up the "arete". The worn path on the right (that mantles over the large block) is Nutcracker.

Atop After Six, right at sunset

Kelly leading pitch 5 of After Six.

Starting the descent off Manure Pile Buttress.

Over my left shoulder are the 5.7x and 5.7r variations. 5.7x is on the eret with no pro and the 7r is the crack.
