[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Doug makeing the traverse from the 5.10b section to the start of the 5.11d section. What the photo doesn't describe is how steep it really is.

I agree, it looks like 90 degree angle from here! I hope it was
a fun climb.

Perfect perspective - often hard to get in climbing shots.

This one was pretty easy since the belay on Meat Grinder put you in a pretty good position for the photo.

as for the climb... when I went and did it it felt really steep.... like it was at 100deg (just my perception) but in reality its about 90-93 degree (slightly past vertical), but the fingers section until you get edges for the feet is hard. Before I tried it Werner Brauner and some woman (I think it was Bird Lew) were on it and she had led it placing maybe 4 pieces, and se looked so graceful, as compared to my thuggish ways.
