Yours truly leading pitch 16...

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Yours truly leading pitch 16 ( A3+ or A4 ) - the crux pitch for us on the East Face / " Mala Pata " route on the South Tower of Paine. Dave Davies had taken a fall here the day before, so I was elected to finish it ( oh joy )! Our route nails the roof to the right. I believe the " Self Right to Suicide " route aids the roof to the left. Photo by Johnathan Gordon.
