Lonely Vigil

Looking down the “stem box” near top of pitch 2 of Lonely Vigil. Shirley is belaying from bolts atop pitch 1.5 ;) Photo was taken from just above the stem box and at the base of the hard, short dihedral marking top of P2. This is not a great belay since you risk falling onto your belayer should you rip in the stem box - there's no crack on the wall where the belay is (January 1, 2005).
