The mailbox at the top of Oak Creek Spire. It contains the summit registry.

The rappel anchors at the second rap station.

|
Another great view from the summit of Oak Creek Spire
|
|
At least the top of the north summit. You can see the packs on the ground. And there is still the jump and more climbing before the top of the south tower.
|
|
This is a great view of the two summits. The climb goes up the right (North) summit then you leap across a 140 foot chasm to the face of the south wall then climb up.
|
|
The North Face route goes up just around the corner on the right then up the obvious chimney system.
|
|
Kole contemplating the jump across the 7x140 foot chasm between the north and south summits.
|
|
This is the instant of greatest suspense.....will the hands hold, remember ladies and gentlemen there is no feet or net :)
|
|
Kole after the jump...collecting his gonads and thoughts.....

|
What can be said about this line that has not already been said....one of the best I have done.

Kole rapping off of Owl Rock. A nice jug haul up a single pitch spire. Nice approach, about 30 seconds :)
|
|
Coyne Crack - Awesome line, gonna try for this one next trip.
|
|
Supercrack - The one and only...long, wide and HARD :) If you have small hands avoid this one like the plauge.
|
|
Kole eyeing the Promised land - The amazing Bellyfull of Bad Berries. a 5.13 overhung offwidth.
