Fine Jade

Looking down from above the crux finger crack at Shirley. Vertical pano of the ridge up to Castleton Tower included. My blue t-shirt and our packs are at the base ~160 feet below. In full version, you can see your approach/descent trail going down the right side of Castleton's scree cone (Apr. 30, 2006).

Re: Great

Thank you sunfish! Wasn't sure if this one is OK or too funky to enjoy.

That is so cool! Love this shot. That pitch looks hard!

Re: Stunning vertical pano

Thank you very much Martin!
The portion of pitch visible in photo is above most difficulties. The stuff I was hanging is below the bulge and really visible here (definitely hard for me).
