Bill working the first ascent with Rick Graham. Not sure if they succeeded on the day I took the photo.

Looks like Bill was ground up cleaning the troublesome section below the " hex 7 " placement. Our ab ropes were down the top groove and it was hard to swing in to this section. Before anybody asks we did not have 5 ropes on the crag :-)

What's with all this dirt?

Hi Rick
You got me wondering about the number of ropes showing. And as we were the only other team on the crag at the time. I will add another photo taken straight on to clear up the confusion.

Hi Sean
Just figured what you meant by 'dirt'. Its from my 36 yr old slides that I scanned without knowing how to clean them first. I don't think its from Bills thorough work effort.
