Belaying on 2 feet wide, 100 foot drop off on either side! Chossy rock and some manky gear, placed 2 pieces on the entire route, clipped rusty pitons and some newer bolts! Easy climbing on the crumbly rock though, pull down not out!

We had a fine day on the arete; climbing still fun, pro still there, mostly. Scott tossed a softball-sized rock just past this bolt. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 013105.

Unknowen climbers gather and question the sanity of Supes fixed hardware on chicken ledge.

A view of Kevin making his way up what is truly a razor's edge. It is a bit unnerving at times to see emptiness to the left and right throughout most of the climb. The old fixed hardware is even more unnerving.

The Hand, Superstition Mtn Arizona. This picture was taken from The Tower.

At around 3 pm we got on the Tower. And the we finished the day with the Hand.

The Hand as seen from the hike in. Climb is on opposite side. Impressive from any angle.

Looking down the last pitch at the belay affectionately known as Chicken Ledge. Notice the other rope dangling in space.

The Hand is the obvious stand alone spire on the left. Yes, it leans a bit, but not quite as much as in this photo.

just another day in AZ - here is the Hand from the drive into the Park. The hand is the one on the left.

Ron Logan, certified AMC instructor, leads the second pitch of the Razor's Edge up to Chicken Ledge.

Luke Newby is the guy climbing into the cave, and Stewart Riddle is spotting him and waiting his turn. It was pretty cold and windy this day!
