Cirque of Towers, August 5th

We got up early and climbed one of the classics: the South Buttress of Pingora.  Billy did all the leading and Yvonne and I would follow at the same time.  It was amazingly efficient, however, I was glad I was one of the dual climber and not the belayer who had to figure out who needed tension and who needed to chill out.
