Varied pro in this long pitch, ending in a long corner to steep arch. The belay is hanging on two huge 1/2" bolts.

The roof itself has three fixed pieces, and shares bolts with "Freedom or Death" route, a bolted line to the left.

Flick jugging the steep, sometimes flaring arch on pitch 4, which goes on clean aid.

Hanging out on a good grappling hook that helps in making an exposed mantel on pitch 5.

Good exposure when you lean out over nothing.

This is my brother scoping out the climb to come. Beckey Route is an Easy, fun climb, but leave time to do other climbs as well.

Jeff and Danielle on the 2nd pitch of Liberty Crack.

The Beckey Route is the route of the first ascent and still the most popular route on the mountain.

Recon doing a slabby finger traverse on the third pitch of the Beckey Rt (a variation of the standard line).

A party ahead of us on the 1st pitch of the Beckey Route.

This is what I woke up to after a long night in a snow storm on Liberty Bell in February. The storm continued for three more days, and ultimately ended our trip

Plan on climbing around the mtn goats when you visit the Pass. The goat pictured here was blocking the start to the Becky Rt. Maybe she was lookin for a partner?
