Bandoleer from above (5.11a)

This climb is a Red River Gorge classic--long, pocketed, and the crux is at the top! Just when you are beginning to get pumped, there is a nice strenuous layback crack for your climbing pressure. It also stays dry in the rain; it was drizzling when I got this shot. In the photo below, John Hur fights the pump to snag the flash ascent of the route. Photo by Dirk Peters.
