Thanks waldo.
I do have one other question.
What is the story on that off-route bolt on pitch 1.
Started that way and then changed your mind?

Here are some pics of the pitch 3 belay.

It looks like Jim used everything he had - some of his, some of mine.




 
Here is a closeup of the slotted knot





Here is the lone bolt. It looks brand new. This was 2014. FA 1995

Great detail shots of belay 3! Jack put in that off-route bolt (a buttonhead?) before I joined the project. He sent me up and left. Losing the superfluous bolt didn't seem urgent then or later. It was many years before anyone besides us climbed it. I'm sure he wouldn't mind its removal now.

I heard there was some serious Eye Candy in the park on Saturday.


Here's a couple old shots of me placing gear and moving above the gear on Chubby Rain

I mislabeled one of the previous pics of Chubby Rain. I noticed the mistake based on the position of that prominent hole on the face (at my left hip).

Here is one of me clipping the crux bolt





and moving right into the crux
