man...i didn't even notice the angle until you mentioned it.

i considered it a face climb, and i thought the picture properly captured the heat/peace of the moment. Thanks again to Perry for the money shot - if you knew him in person, you wouldn't think he'd tilt the lens intentionally just for dramatization.
p.s. doing this route turned out to be a great mental preparation for Welsh slabs in Pembrokeshire! There was not a single bolt to be found anywhere on the blank slate slabs...some routes were done by duct-taping skyhooks to little incut crimps....and the crazy thing is, the routes were so good, they make you consider that a reasonable option!
