Great pictures. FYI, its "biners". A beaner is something else.

Nice shots. TFPU. Curious about all the action on this route though. I was up there this past weekend on the Witch, and there were four parties on Atlantis while every other route in the area sat empty. Looks awesome and definitely on my to do list (assuming I can get out there enough) but with so many other awesome routes within stone's throw, the herd mentality was odd.

Nice photos and story on the crux. I've found that next pitch to be exciting, too.

Atlantis is popular since it is a good way to break into the grade. Many people have much more trouble on the Don Juan wall.
Great photos in the TR!

I finally did the Lost at Sea pitch off Atlantis and can't recommend this pleasurable diversion enough if you've got an extra 30-45 minutes! Nice work Aaron. That's a fun route to say the least!

Trip Report updated with photo credits.
Ron, I didn't know he was climbing onsight! A different league for sure. Hopefully my post will inspire other less gifted athletes to challenge themselves.
