Lonely Vigil

Lonely Vigil (II 5.10-) on the "backside" (opposite to Colorado River) of Lighthouse Tower. Route climbs the tower in 4 pitches though upper two pitches are not really visible (key beginning traverse of P3 is noted though). P1 is a gear belay on a big ledge (some fixed stuff). P1.5 is a bolted hanging belay at the mouth of the stem box of P2. This belay should not really be used as you risk falling onto your belayer if you peel in the stem box. P2 is on another large ledge (bottom of it visible) and is well bolted. Shirley is rapping from top of P2 to the ground (2X 60 meter ropes; January 1, 2006).

Ahem,

I think you have these route map pics down. This is a really good one and by including Shirley in the pic as she raps, it gives great perspective. What program do you use for adding the info to the pic?

Re: Ahem,

Thanks Dean! Unfortunately this is looking up so there's the usual distortion near the top (tower looks a little stockier than it is).



Just been using Paint Shop Pro.
