jen liebacking the surprisingly steep crux of <i>surrealistic pillar</i> (5.7) bigger-than-gym jugs a calm and collected right foot rounds a corner to finish the topping out on the always fun <i>corrugation corner</i> (5.7)
jen studies the topo before heading up the crux pitch of <i>corrugation corner</i> at the first belay of surrealistic pillar an airy stem on surrealistic pillar tongue out, off belay
jen gathers her courage for the 50 foot runout on p2 of <i>surrealistic pillar</i> hiking the dykes on the last pitch of <i>corrugation corner</i> (5.7) negotiating choss jen has many faces... this one means
jugs abound more topo study jens leads up one of the the corner
reaching for the top of <i>corrugation corner</i> (5.7) and it's over. after two years of waiting, jen sends <i>corrugation corner</i>, and takes the first bus to boston. sadly, every good friend that i've climbed cc with has left or will soon be leaving the bay area, and jen is no exception. the route is cursed, i tell you!
