Four Stars

Here are some snaps from the weekend of two lesser known world class climbs of Herculean stature from opposite sides of the mountain. They share an aesthetic grandness, a pure sequence, 20+ moves, 35+ ft, and they are both very hard.

  4. Thanks! Alan and I have an ongoing debate about what makes a good climbing shot, but I think these pass the bar. Hope you guys can all make it out next weekend.

  5. What is that first problem? It looks almost as sickass as Beowulf, which is seriously one of the best lines EVAR.
