The approach to the start of Handcracker Direct.

Handcracker Direct's crux pitch.

Oh yeah!

Step right out of the first corner onto a low angle slab. Layback up the next corner a move or two, then swing right onto the arete and up to a bulging headwall that is harder than it looks.

From the road--very dramatic and Edge-like.

On pitch 1.

Working the dihedral at the start of P2.

Nearing the end of the difficulties above the P2 ceiling. The crack is slick and too small for my hands, so it's a little treacherous.<br>

With your foot in the crack and an excellent right hand undercling, you can reach the jug--if you're tall enough.

Started snowing on us. Beautiful Eldo moment. If you like Blind Faith, you'll love this!

Sorry about the good looking butt. This route is awesome.
