Leading at the crux.

Red Arrow Shows location of Chimney Crag. Photo taken looking uphill from Dali Dome Camp to the left of Dali Dome and to the right of Trac II.

Dr. Bombay is underneath the big flake. The crux is climbing out of the bottomless horizontal chimney and into the hand size crack on the left.

It looks a lot easier and less exposed than it actually is. A short vertical crack and face quickly becomes a bottomless horizontal chimney. The trick is to do the whole thing without hanging out and resting on your pro.

It's all over but the shouting.

This is what it looks from directly below the climber at the crux. The climber in this photo is following.

First Ascent Party circa April 1979 from left to right: Andy Solow, (Matt Thom), Vince Hernandez, two guys from Prescott, AZ - names unknown, and Dick Richardson at the bottom.

This is what's behind the flake. The photo was taken from the far left side of the formation.
