Ah-hah! I was trying to place that route at Purgatory, and coming up blank. That makes sense now.

Looks like the clipping jug that I used at the anchors of "Del Boy" the first time I was on it. :lol:

It is. So much fun - moves just hard enough that you have to really work to do them, but no "stopper move". Holds just big enough to hold on to, but not big enough where you feel solid. No left, right, left easy part. Just back to back extended boulder problems. Well bolted. A route I would be psyched to fall all over for years without sending, just a good time. A very good job Kenny, no doubt.

Paul, thanks much. I have taken a bunch of that route, so I was psyched to get it in some different light!

Yea wes, the light in that photo was awesome and I agree with Paul, that is one of your best shots. you should work with the image, get back there when the light is like that again and do some bracketing to play with different contrast levels and get the climbers in different positions. I really want to try that route...too bad I am in NYC getting weaker by the second. :?

Im psyched to seee that people are still getting on that routeand having a good time on it. Those are some good shots on it. hopefully i can get back out there and send that extension so everyone can try that after they send the first part.
