Mo Moro....West Face...Sequoia National Park



On Zocalo Ledge at the start of the 'Offramp'


First Pitch Aerial Boundries….The Block on the top of this pitch is big and loose


Condor Ledge down on the West Face....We very well might have been the first 3 on this big ledge! The pic below of Dave is the oldest, 1983 and when we still had to put pro into the crack along the back of the ledge to be able to rap off. Scary as hell when you back off the ledge over 1000' of air!. Then bolts got put in and the pic above is Dave hooking up our rap to the bolts. As of now those bolts are over 20 years old. Steel ones too ..
