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.

First pitch of Birdland

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

View of the 5th pitch from the anchors. My partner, Andrew, is rappelling down, while another party is coming up the pitch.

It was quite a busy day on birdland yet still enjoyable. There were 6 people total hanging from the two bolts atop pitch 4 just prior to taking this photo......

Pitch 5 offers some nice exposure especially for the grade.

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