Pat (pattray) belaying Tim (tim) while he leads the 2nd pitch of Zoo View 5.7+ at Moore's Wall, NC.

I know, three is too many of the same guy (even if he has a great mustache), on the same climb, on the same day. But this one is in the midst of the great roof of Zoo View! Hark! (June 2007)

Sentinal Buttress and climbers starting Zoo View

Rope line for Pitch one of Dromedary, at least the way I went. Several variations possible. Route continues up and out right up the face and out the v-slot in the upper right. Continue up and left from there to reach the gully with the rap station.

Hanging out between pitches.

Got stormed off the rock and returned to the parking lot to find this.

Photo of the bolt and pulley system at the top of the second pitch of Sentinel Buttress. The guide I used said it was 110' to the crows nest (start of the 2nd pitch). I was able to reach it with a single 70m rope.

This is a picture showing the start (mainly) of an unknown 5.7+ climb between Golden Earring and Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do. Taken with a wide angle lens to get most of the route, it's kind of a screwy perspective, making the bottom longer and the top foreshortened.

This is a view of the wall above Golden Earring before you start the traverse (GE ends a little below the trees in the middle right). I've not climbed Step and Fetch so I'm not sure where the line goes, but it's somewhere up this face. This picture was taken from the ledge/rap station at the top of Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do/Stab in the Dark.

The start of the Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do is the wide crack well to the left of the rap line in the picture. I primarily stayed in this feature; the little crack to the right was of no use to me at all. Note that the ground is actually about 6-8 feet below where the crack starts in this picture, so there is a bit of exposed burly bouldering to get to the first piece of gear.

Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do - Looking up above the cruxy bouldery start you can see the line the route takes as it follows the main crack. Eventually the main crack peters out and you can follow a horizontal crack to the right to a new crack system that takes you to the top. Here it looks a bit like a diagonal up and right.

Shot of the middle section of the climb. More or less done with the main crack, and traveling up and increasingly to the right. Nice rest point at the start of this section.

Top out/rap station shot for Breaking Rocks is Hard to Do. There is a nice big ledge to hang out on up here. The rap station, is your classic Moore's deal - some fixed gear with a few steel cable loops through a ring.

A peek at a couple of the fixed pieces comprising the rap station. I think there is one more in there too that you can't see in this picture. There is a really creepy loose green rock below this, but the pieces themselves appear to be in good rock.

Pic of someone's rope line (superimposed green line) on Raise Hell. The leader was seemed a bit stressed to discover some bats in one of the cracks he was planning to use at one point so he might have gone a little off route or just skipped putting pro in that crack!

Air show line (Note: *considerably* foreshortened) taken from P1 belay up sentinel chimney.

Topo pic of Blue Balls. Looks a bit kooky due to the wid angle lens I used. Wander your way up and exit through the V slot, top center. Many possibilities.

Shot of a previously undocumented line we thought looked fun. Just a short ways down from "Blue Balls" and "Turdslinger" but before the large cleft in the rock that contains "Relapse". Shot taken with a wide angle lens, so it's a bit foreshortened.

Picture of the line, after we had tweaked it straight on a subsequent TR. Pardon the wide-angle lens stretchification of the bottom of the route and my partner!

Working through the overhanging bit near the start. This is a view from slightly up the gully looking down towards the trail.

Slung (and then some) chockstone forms a rap station for the topout of blue balls and whatver else puts you up on top of the pillar peninsula. Rap drops you down into the split/gully about 100' down. I'm fairly sure a 60m will get you down but I *know* a 70m will.
