yehaw!

The second Red Dihedral Pitch.

Sewing up the upper pitches. Takes good gear in addition to the bolts.

This was a bit longer than it looked from below, but a fun way to do it if you've got enough slings.

Mike leading the 1st Red Dihedral pitch.

Does feeding $500 to the Wild Burros mean you still have to pay the $500 fine?

Mike linking pitches 4 and 5.

The third pitch. 5.11b

Last 5.12 pitch

Just below the awesome pitch 5 roof!
