Here's Jeff Gardner somewhere mid-route. He ended up doing this route twice, The Mummy 3 times and climbed out on The Prow for a Half-Dome Day of soloing.

Enjoying a drink after a fun climb. North Carolina is filled with great climbs and amazing backrounds.

3rd pitch of the prow in linville gore at the ampitheatre.. great climbing, until the storm (in the background) began to roll in

View from second belay on The Prow, Linville Gorge

the prow (5.4) was a great moderate climb, and the weather could not have been better! I am approaching the belay ledge for the 3rd pitch (mummy buttress in the background)

Here I am leading the 2nd pitch of the prow, but I must say the 3rd pitch is the money shot.

I took this picture because I love the rock form. I could seriously just look at it for hours. Notice the climbers in the center of the photo.

The Prow a fun little 5.4. This was when I was starting to get serious about Rock Climbing. The picture was taken by my Dad.

My Dad also took this picture. I hope that The Prow will be my first route that I lead onTrad.

I love this last pitch it gets a little airy.

Here is my Dad at the belay station on the prow. I think the Picture was taken by a guy named Eddie.

Here is my Dad and I after climbing the Prow. The picture was taken by Eddie.
