On May 25th I went to East Peak to have a final look at Thor's Hammer (5.9), a spectacular looking route that Leon and I had lead-climbed way back in March of 2001. With me were James, Lu, Toru, Saverio and Brandon.

I climbed Thor's and brought with me my camera and spare rope. I rigged a descent line and used that to take some reasonable shots of the others climbing the two routes from various angles. I especially wanted to get some pictures of someone climbing through the first roof of Thor's.
