Leading pitch 1 of Coyote Tower – it goes something like boulder move, walk, boulder move, walk…for 160 feet. Things get much better right above though (Oct. 2013).

Shirley topping out on pitch 3 of Coyote Tower – this is the limestone band…looks quite choosy but has seen enough traffic to be in fact pretty clean (Oct. 2013).
