The Astroslog rappel route is not very obvious. Luckily, we know the way!
Getting closer to the river. 2000 feet down. 2000 feet up.
Myself and Bill excited the raps are almost over and the climbing is about to begin.
Dan cruising through the top of the 1st pitch.
Myself finishing pitch 3. This pitch starts out with moderate 5.10 wide climbing, changes into excellent laybacking and finishes with a challenging 5.10+ finger crack.
Dan with his game face on for the first 5.11 pitch. He rocked it!
This is the enduro corner. The reason for the Astroman (from Yosemite) copycat name.
Looking down onto the 2 boulder bivy site from half way back down the enduro corner. This is where we stayed for the night.
Bill got to haul the pig this pitch. Lucky for him, he is REALLY strong.
The crux pitch. Short, but it packs a punch.
Bill and Dan looking at the South Rim overlook from 3 pitches below.
Bill about to take off on the final pitch. This pitch tops out at the scenic overlook where about 30 tourists were waiting to congratulate us.
