I'm not sure if I've got the right section listed here. Don't get a lot of chances to climb at BM so I'm not too familiar with the locations of routes and such.

The beautiful Cathedral Spires in all their glory.

Evan on the approach pitch to spire four. It was pretty easy but we roped up since we had never been there before.

We saw these mountain goats as we approached our climb on Spire Four. They were about twenty feet to our right and hung around to watch us gear up for the first pitch. Not much of an action photo, but we'd never been this close to wild goats before so it was kind of neat.

This is the first pitch as seen from the 3/4 saddle atop the approach pitch. The wormhole is barely seen under the chockstone and the face to the left is for the robust and claustrophobic folks.

This is a pic my friend took of me as I was belaying up our third climber on spire four. I spent about 1/2 hour trying to unlock the wormhole, but it didn't work. I ended up downclimbing and going around which resulted in tons of rope drag since I left a piece in the chimney to protect the small traverse.

This is me following my friend's lead up "Swingset"(5.9) at Palisades State Park by Garretson, South Dakota. The beginning was a bit tricky for both of us. Pulling the huge roof was actually quite easy due to a couple of "thank god" jugs on it's right corner.
