Catherine on the money pitch

On the day that we climbed the route, less than 48 hours after rainfall, water was seeping out of the crack along the entire length of the traverse. This made for exciting footwork.

May the force be with you, always.

use the force

Nice view after whipping on some variant to P2. The flume is on the right of the photo. This variant has a 20 or so foot run-out between the last piece of gear and a bolt. Very spicy.

Messing around on the third pitch

Kalina getting off the ground.

Me questing up the 5.8 crack pitch, after climbing a number of corner cracks in my time it feels comparable to like 5.10b.

Looking down the first pitch. Apparently you can go two ways. I've only done the slab option.

Dr. Watts, a 10b variation to Pitch 3.

Use it.

Fork at the top of Pitch 2 of Skywalker: EPB (10a) goes left to the top and Skywalker Pitch 3 goes right.

The base of "Skywalker," without the crowds, due to the rain.

Last pitch of Skywalker

This is me belaying Elle up from the higher belay station, the gentleman to the left is at the lower station.

One of several belay stations at the top of pitch 2

Doing the "skywalker" pitch.

pitch 4

Pitch 1 can be wet at the base. But just for a few moves. And there is a bolt.

Winnie running through the slab near the top of P1.

Start of pitch 3. Just follow the white streak to the two bolt belay. This pitch was mostly 5.5/6 movement, but there is a solid, traditional 5.7 move at the top. You can see the "skywalker" traverse above which goes left to right under the trees.

Start of the climb

Skywalker pitch. Very easy and extremely well protected with VERY classic positioning.

Top of pitch 2

Maureen nearing the top of pitch 2

myself on the Skywalker pitch

Me climbing up the money pitch, lots of friction and good placements, my kind of climb.

Starting up pitch 2. The "flume" was super well protected, but very strenuous for the grade.

Working my way up the "Flume". 2nd Pitch

Dawn getting ready for the fabulously exposed skywalker traverse
