  Finally my July 4th poison ivy healed and the stars aligned so we could get back to work on our project. The resurected Gruman Eagle served us well again. Saturday was a long one for me. I finished P1 and got a 3rd of the way up P2. ran out of battery in a rather exciting spot. So dehydrated by the end of the day that I drank some lake water when I got off the cliff. Got sick sat night and finally threw up @4am... actually slept in after that and felt semi functional sunday. It was muggy and sticky but no full sun on sunday. Isa sent P1 first thing. yes!! the Eye at the start of the climb. P1 is about 140ft and mostly fun slab with a stupid hard section of about 12 or 15ft that I was afraid would not go.... Isa called it 10a.... Whatever.. maybe someday I will be able to do it clean.. naturally the butt shots make it look flat vegatated and short but it really is much better than it looks. P1 crux. P2 is about 160ft. I did break it in to two pitches on the FA as I was out of pins, had just run it out to a good dish and then used my second to last bolt so I brought Isa up to have a look at the finish. I was able to finish the climb on small and micro gear and used my last bolt for top belay. Took this shot of Isa at belay from half way up P3 though when we reclimbed it to free P2 we combined P2and3. That long 2nd pitch has some hard 10 about 30ft up then heady slab finishing up interesting grooves and corners with micro cams and stoppers to a good ledge just shy of the woods and a single bolt anchor. We will go back next week to fix the belays and perhaps add a belay station so that it can be done with a single 70m rope?? All told I drilled 18? bolts on lead counting belays. heading home after the deed was done. The Eye Of Hor 10+ 300ft.
