Heidi laying it back!

Ratherbe nearing the corner move on Disneyland. The plan was to beat the impending rain by stringing the whole climb into one pitch. A little drag resulted, and unfortunately the rain came too soon for the second to finish.

My third lead

Eric lead the more difficult first pitch. I led the easier, but loose and runout second.

This (where I am sitting) is where you traverse left and it gets hard!

Ryan Following Dustin up the top pitch of YYYY. We took the optional 5.7 exit through the roof. YYYY continues to traverse right till you reach a notch and exit up to the trees (Lots of rope drag).

Ryan on the second pitch of layback. Good photo op.

While climbing on Fat Stick another climber on Yellow Ridge took this.
