Mesa Verde Wall as seen from the summit of Monkey Face. The classic Trezlar (5.10a) route climbs the obvious shade-sunshine dihedral (June 2007).

Our friend Pat styling (onsighting) Cosmos (5.10a) on Mesa Verde Wall. The climber on the right is on Screaming Yellow Zonkers (5.10b; Oct. 2007).

Our friend Pat leading the nice Cosmos (5.10a) route on Mesa Verde. We did Cosmos (this time) instead of the pitch 1 proper of Trezlar (Oct. 2007).

Our party on Trezlar/Cosmos (5.10a). Yours truly in red is belaying Shirley up Cosmos while Pat (in the middle) is demonstrating to the party below how he gonna go all Chuck Norris on their asses if they come up to his belay (Oct. 2007).

Shirley arriving at the base of the second pitch of Trezlar via the Cosmos pitch (Oct. 2007).

Shirley & yours truly at the base of the classic pitch 2 dihedral on Trezlar (5.10a; Oct. 2007).

Shirley leading pitch 2 of Trezlar - hands to fingers in a nice clean dihedral (Oct. 2007).

Shirley styling the money pitch (#2) of Trezlar belayed by yours truly (Oct. 2007).

Shirley leading pitch 2 of Trezlar. Above her and on the right is the sketchy, hollow-sounding belayer slayer flake (Oct. 2007).

Shirley sending the money pitch of Trezlar - a stellar crack & dihedral 5.10a pitch. Though it does not look it, the pitch is 100 feet long and works your calves. She's entering the crux section in the shot which begins with the hollow sounding block on right (ultimate belayer slayer - if that f..er goes, the belayer will likely be sliced in half...vertically). I'm bleyaing & our friend Pat is relaxing atop Cosmos (Oct. 2007).
