| Shirley in the... | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Shirley in the Rectory-Castleton saddle during our approach hike to The Priest (barely visible as a separate tower at the far left side of The Rectory). The southern prow of The Rectory (with Fine Jade, III 5.11-) is in the foreground. What a spectacular setting the saddle is (Feb. 5, 2005)!!

Voted 10/10 | to vote this shot a 4 star, number 20 for you. Your work on The Priest is text book stuff. i just love that name, "The Priest" Are you going back for The Rectory? | | Posted Feb 11, 2005 9:17 pm |

Hasn't voted | Kane,
thank you very much for your super-kind remarks!
The Rectory thing will have to wait for us - we'd like to do it via the classic "Fine Jade" line but right now that's way beyond what we're capable of free climbing unfortunately (it's rated .11-)......though there is an easier route to the top (called Empirical Route 5.9 R). Do you have any plans for that tower - I'd love to see more of those things submitted to SP?
Take care and good climbing to you!
Regards,

..the zebra-stripped rock is nicely captured. I also noticed you guys bivied up on the solar slab terrace. that must have been pretty cool (esp. sunset/sunrise views). | | Posted Mar 21, 2008 11:51 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Thanks. Yes, the bivy on Solar Slab was a good idea. Great way to beat the crowds and you're right... an amazing sunrise! | | Posted Mar 24, 2008 1:29 pm |
