Gossamer: Climbing a Fantasy Into the Sky
Gossamer is Truly a "Fairy Tale" route; a Fantasy in Stone. Although the climbing is of moderate (5.7) difficulty its setting and exposure are unsurpassed. After a few moves of crack climbing, the leader grabs the edge of this Incredible flake and procedes skyward, clipping well placed bolts along the way. This photo was taken by Scott Dikkers, of his friend Buzz Kemper this Autumn.
