The crux pitch is extremely well protected.

Unknown climber cruxin on Leav. Taken from P5 of Eagle Dance.

An old bolt with "JU" etched on it, presumably for Jorge and/or Joanne Urioste. This was at the top of either the second or third pitch. Don't worry, there were new, shiny, bolts nearby, too.

Crux pitch of Levitation 29

an 80m will take you from the top of 7 to the top of 5 and set up a sweet shot of friends cruising the crux pitch... but its close enough where I wouldn't recommend it

Greeted by an incredible sunrise on the approach slabs of Levitation 29!

Andy leading up the crux 11c pitch. Andy and partner - message me if you want the rest of the pictures.

70m Edelrid reached from p4 anchors to p3 anchors easily. I'm 115lbs and wasn't carrying a pack or gear. Just FYI! Have fun!

Racked 'n ready to gun us up the crux. Note that the belay is far more comfortable using a long tether and standing off to the left
