In a dire effort to save some dignity, Dave digs in deep to pull off a top rope ascent of this powerful, yet beautiful crack climb.

....and the crack only gets thicker! Here is Elliott, cruising up this classic E-Rock corner crack (hands to off-width).

Elliott getting the most out of the last good fist jams before the crack starts gobbling up all his big-ass cams.

Trying "Fear of Flying", Buzzards Roost at Enchanted Rock. My second outdoor climb! The view was amazing!

It was my first time to try crack climbing and it was really weird to me. After a long time on the rock, 2 feet above the ground, I gave up and decided to try another time. melekzek is having fun on the route, it is not his first crack climb, but he is still trying to explore how people are climbing cracks without using the lay back technique ;).

definitely an E-Rock classic, for that matter, a classic anywhere. overhanging OW layback with great rests and great gear.

airy stemming is the finish i prefer. gives me the chance to look down at that last 5 camalot with great admiration.

Wonderful undercling on the beginning. the most creative part of this route (if toproped) is finding where to place the feet.

just kicking back and relaxing after onsighting Fear of Flying on the toprope. wonderful climb, trad lead would be crazy.

Henry Steinberg climbing to meet his maker on Top Choice. The cam below him is a number six, just inches below where the crack opens up bigger than the green monster.

Henry Steinberg starting to feel pumped out on Top Choice. We only had 1 number 6 and he left it 10 feet below himself.

Henry Steinberg contemplating the pump and the last 4 feet on Top Choice. Last pro #6 12 feet below.

Henry Steinberg fearing flying on fear of flying... Last pro #6 12 feet below.

Henry Steinberg seconds before the 24 foot whipper. The number 6 creaked and popped and held... missed the top by 4' !

This is one my students, Joshua Camarena on his first attempt on Fear of Flying.
