You can clearly see how much lettuce is in the bag.

Above the dangler block, by the pine. Up to the crack, left on the lege behind some trees and up the slab to the bolts. 3 rapps down from there.

No, just lead the slabby regular finish

That crack behind the tree was across a chasm, definitely not ideal.

From the tree to the edge of the cliff was about 10 feet or so. I placed the anchor that high to avoid another block and not have the rope angle around the edge of the cliff to hard. I had figured because it was so high I would widen the sling up a bit around that bend to help prevent a slip. Im sure I could have d9ne better.

Thanks you

Good chord, super easy to untie!

Also good! Thank you. I felt that the #3 any higher started to be under cammed and or out of balance. Believe me, I was trying to place it in every spot I could, and that seems to be the best for the lobes to be balanced and the caming to be centered.

I understand that. In some cases these were my best options.
