I always make christopher do the sport climbs, then he rigs up a top rope for me... i just hate taking a a fall with five feet of slack. he doesnt seem to care, not that he ever falls (stupid Christopher)

This photos were taken by Steve and the editing in photoshopt was done by me. I remember the water had some kind of funky green color and it didn't look like it would be good for your health to take a dive. I didn't make the top, I had to reverse every move, about 12 to 15 moves on small pockets.

Easiest is to stay low on this water traverse on the other side of the creek between The Stumbling Blocks and The Ghetto Wall, no more than a few feet above the water. 5 Sep 2005

This is me leading johnny can't lead, after I tried it on top rope. it's a very fun and pumpy route.
