Eric Odenthal on the crux of Alpenglow
The west face of the Bong has seven (70') 5.11 sport routes that are all very high quality. Alpenglow is the hardest of the bunch. Eric Odenthal (the Jedi) has put up four of these routes. Here he is on the first ascent at the bottom crux. Photo by Brad Singer.
