| Hey -that picture looks familiar...
Oh, right. I allow linking to AZ!
It's not as bad as it looks, there are handholds on the left out of the frame, plus grabbing into the holes. You'd never slide more than about 4' on this one before you "landed" back in a standing position.
The bigger problem I had was a spot where I had a vertical face to get over. It had plenty of cracks and steps, but I got stuck at about 6' off the ground where I couldn't make the last step without being overbalanced, and so had to hold on with one hand while I took my pack off with the other, rain pouring over me and down the rock, and slide the pack up. Then it was a simple step and jump and I was easily on top.
