Dont know the name but is just to the right of that short 10.b crack with the pitons on it behind that 10.b arete that is so popular. Man I suck with the names of things.

Great pic Mark.

third pitch of white satin. looks like you led the 10b for the second pitch as well instead of the 5.7 choss. great pitch and another jeff thomas classic.

fgw,
nice job upping the ante with your obscure route. my guess is perpetual motion.

as for your guess: not even close; it's on the tuff.

not at all, sometimes you just get lucky.

how is perpetual motion and did you climb dolf's dihedral to the left? i haven't done either but they look good.

as for my pic: think easy and obvious. i bet you've climbed this route more than once.

Mark,
Perpetual Motion was a really fun route - the choss down low was short lived and it had some fun climbing (really cool traverse in this roof/dihedral thing). It cost us some gear to get down as the fixed pins (3) were just hanging on a bleached piece of tat.

Dolf's was cool too. We did that flake start (10a per Watts) and .8 dihedral is something out of Indian Creek (if short).
