After the first run, Dave, Rob and I decided we needed more.  It was a beautiful day, the sun was out, and the level was good for some decent play.  At this level some of the holes in Boulder Drop become good and Anderson Hole is good above the drop.

The picket fence in Boulder Drop.  Chutes L to R:  The Needle, Ned's Needle, Chris's Crack, Airplane Turn.
Looking down from mid-Boulder Drop.  Big House rock (rt) and Little House Rock (lft).
Mt. Index behind ends.
