Joe LeMay (higher climber) and Miguel Carmona (lower climber) on Snow Creek's crux 5.5 section

Joe LeMay (the higher climber) and Miguel Carmona (the lower climber) soloing the 5.5 crux section of Snow Creek with overnight packs and mountaineering boots. This 100-foot long section is located about 30 feet downhill from the 5500' main chockstone/waterfall on the right (west) side of the canyon wall. The usual upper anchor/belay point is the tree that you see above on the skyline: April 22, 2006 (Photo credit: Mike Ostby).
