This is PTPP in action, going up the A4 loose rock of pitch 7 of Scorched
Earth.
We fixed this pitch, and spent the night at P6, the Poison Pill block (scene
of the infamous Cratered Pig Incident the next day). This overhanging
pitch traversed to the right. The next day when I lowered out to jug the
fixed line, I found myself thirty feet from the wall and fifty feet east
of where I started.
[The steepness was the least of my worries! See that flake all my
gear is stuck in? It's not expando, it's loose. You could likely pull it
off with your hands. Ripping to the belay is possible, though hopefully not
probable. - Pete]
From the top of this pitch the next day, I took
a
telephoto shot of a traffic jam on the Nose.
