Charles danglling free on the rappel of the Washer Woman Arch. The wind was whipping it up pretty good which made for an exciting descent.

The Washer Woman Arch above us is shown in the photo of her shadow. You can really see how she does indeed look like she is doing laundry.

The final headwall of the Washer Woman Arch is protected by trad gear up to this point then a coule of drilled angles provide pro for the .10+ .11- moves to come.

After the free rap off the arch this is the view back up. The route traverses the top of the arch from left to right.

The first pitch ends at a smaller opening through the Washer Woman formation. The second pitch starts by stepping through the window and into a narrow chimney that splits the left wall just out of sight. It not at all a hard move but kind of thrilling as the exposure increses pretty dramatically once you step through the window.

The sunset christmas day on the front range of Colorado was incredible. Here Meeker & Longs show through the bare trees.

Deep in Canyonlands lives an old woman, seen here doing her wash. Great desert towers in a remote setting.

Ever seen/used one of these? The trusty ole swivel piton. Been in my bag of tricks for over 35 yrs. Picked it up at an Army Surplus in late 60's. I actually placed it a time or two, hehehe!

The ankles hurt, the calves burn, and the thighs scream no more! But you're almost there, the top of the elevator shaft.

Todd leading out on the great 11th pitch of the E. Butress. Great position and background.

A flyby pic of the tower on the way into the area that morning for a day of climbing. Note The Priest & Sister Superior Group on the Background. We were drinking Marg.'s that night in Salida, CO after climbing Kor/Ingalls by 6PM.
