Last Easter I made my 2nd attempt at freeing Moonlight Buttress. I significantly improved from last time, and was luckily enough to have a professional photographer ask me if he could rap in and shoot the upper pitches. He snapped some spectacular photos!

I didn't send, but came damn close with one fall, so the congrats are a little premature. I'll be back though.
I think maybe people are missing it because it's between the two pics, but there's a link to the full trip report in there. I guess Ryan's pics are so good that people aren't paying attention to the text. Go Ryan!
I'll put the link to the full trip report again: pullharder.org

If you fell once- why didn't you pull the rope and redpoint the pitch?
