Resurrection Wall, 1991
« on: October 15, 2009, 01:38:35 PM »
I saw the Resurrection photos in another thread and decided to post these from 1991.

Jack and I took advantage of a very nice spell of weather in February to head up Resurrection.  I should mention that both of us are great admirers of Tom Higgins.  However, while my admiration is genuine, it is also a bit academic.  Jack actually took his to the point of emulating Mr Higgins's achievements.  Climbing that second pitch free was never a goal of mine.  It was for Jack.

He gave it three college tries on this particular day.  He got within a couple of moves of the overhang's lip twice.  He came off about midway on his third attempt.  And you all know Jack.  No hang-dogging allowed.  He had me lower him back to the belay every time.

waldo, please see this guide to showing a picture in your post. You are close. Just need to right click on each image, get the URL and enclose it inside [ i m g ] [/ i m g] (without the spaces). Let me know if you need any help.
Inch by inch, I will get there.

So, Bob, got more where those came from? You and Pinnacles have a long and great history together. Post 'em up!
