Smoke's stuff
A string and all
Doug starts out
Shakedown moves
Eva follows closely behind
It was real climbing right away
Moving through the course as a team
Spotting and coaching is the invisible rope used on the course
Marty Hornick contemplates the Flying Squirrel move
I knew he would do it at this point, so I waited for the leap
Alchemy of Action
Marty commits
The Rubber Tester
Nancy puts new technology to an old test
Burrowing through the landscape
So many moves
Doug downclimbs
Leading the way, making it look easy, Doug keeps tensions low
Reckoning
In agreement
Moving into the Faucet
Old school technique on improbable moves
Classic Buttermilker
An iconic move
In his element
Surveying the territory
Moving through the creases
Like children at the playground, we followed one and other into and through the crumbling granite rockscape
A hallway
Granite Lane
Curiosity
This seemed a prerequisite for becoming a Buttermilker, the desire to go have a look
Entering the Charcoal Chimney
Smoke said that this was once filled with guano that caught on fire from a lightning strike and it burned for days.
Eva following suit
Up into the Charcoal Chimney
Marty reaching
Corridor climbing
Gaining the Charcoal Chimney
Marty makes the move
Oh the places you'll go
A surprisingly easy passage
Inside
Little space
The many faces of Buttermilking
Nancy said she was having fun, but there was gravel falling in her eyes
Marty
Gaining the Skin Diver
