East Face Direct

Wes at work on the very steep (crux) Third Band. At this point in the climb you can't tell where you are on the face due to the high angle. East Face Direct - Mt Borah, Idaho Sept 24, 2011 (photo by Kevin Hansen)

Crux

Yep I knew Wes was serious because he stopped and placed 3 pieces of gear in the flake to his right. This section was 5.8ish. The route's crux is the steep headwall in the top of this photo. Yee Haa, I'd do it again this weekend.
