Gold Bar-before the rain

My first visits to Gold Bar proper were right at the end of the 2011 climbing season, as things were starting on their 8 month voyage of sogginess. I managed to get Doja pretty quickly, which was cool, here are a couple pictures of Joey on it.

The forest boulders are not far from the clear cut, so you get these strong shadows.

These might be some of the last images I take with BW film because the local place that develops it is being forced to move and it is can be too expensive. I'll miss it though.

Will next to one of the "warm-ups." Granite is difficult for me, but it is good looking.

Gold Bar is about 45 minutes from Seattle, just short of Steven's Pass, and this is the view looking East.
