This is a topo I made after climbing Hardskins last week. I could not find one so I decided to put one up.

I was stoked to hit the crack after the 2 bolt face. Seemed a little runout to me, pretty cool.

Mike Gray freezing. We were jonesing to climb on a rainy weekend in AZ. Drove to Tahquitz and Froze near the end of Sept, 2004.

Mike Gray and I got down to our gear after Whodunit. Dan Rhee was just behind us. Here is Dan belaying high up on the 5.7 roof pitch.

Dan Rhee cruisin the first pitch on the North Arete.

I must admit I was a little gripped coming out of the 2nd pitch 5.9 chimney on Beulahs book. Super classic pitch followed by great climbing to the top of Solar slab

Me getting ready for a good nights sleep before climbing the North Aerete the next morning. Ahhh, the beautiful Sierras.
