RIGHT SIDE OF BLACK MAGIC WALL

Submitted by ironsphoto on Tue, 12/12/2006 - 14:29
On 12-5 and 12-6-2006 I was lucky enough to shoot photos and climb with Nick Wakeman on the Black Magic Wall. The first day Nick climbed Alex and Tomas' new route on the far right side of the wall. He did it free and in a very impressive way. I was able to follow, thanks to Ben. The route was very thin with not a lot of options for gear.

Again, climbing it clean and in great style. Ben Wilkenson and I followed. The route we climbed the previous day in the background.
