Pre-Cleaning

Here are some photos from the day that I first fixed ropes on Right Wing with Anders Ourum.

Pitch 4: The climb will finish up the original finish to The Great Game, an overhanging 10b corner (The Beak Flake). Here's looking down it. Yup, looks full on.








Pitch 3: The next pitch down will probably be the one that gives Right Wing it's name (whatever name that ends up being): a full 60m rope-stretcher of 5.10 climbing. Plenty of chimneying and powerful climbing, and not a good rest on the entire thing. The belay is the first stance in 60m. Excellent cracks, fantastic gear, and stomach turning exposure. Here's a photo looking down it (note the ledge way down there, marking its beginning).
















Pitch 3: Here's looking down the lower half of the pitch.















Pitch 3: The lowest 10m of the mega pitch, properly vegetated, with the belay ledge below.



















Pitch 3: Panicing yet? Looking up the mega pitch from the belay ledge. The belay at its top (not visible) is located at the base of the corner visible on the skyline. Bring all the gear you own, and your friends' too.













Pitch 2: Looking up the short 10c-ish pitch. Note the unfortunately permanent wet streak. The climb will step across the streak to some good face holds (dry) before re-joining the corner at the top of the wet streak.










Pitch 1: The connection with Eagle's Domain (the white finger crack in the slab behind the climber).
