Hard Climbing Ahead

This is my climbing partner (Wolfang), on the first pitch of "Apron Strings" (5.10b) in Squamish. I can say that, unlike some of my other pix, this one is quite beautiful (grin). The black and white granite of Squamish is so dazzling that it's second only to the enjoyment of the frictioned climbing. Wolfang finished this pitch, but with some difficulty, as that crack gets mighty thin at the top!
