Last weekend, while I was on belaying pitch 4 of Southern Man, (TR to follow when work lightens) I took these pics of Nick doing the Kor roof. There was a pause on our route so I was able to snap a bunch in a few minutes. I told Nick I would load them onto the taco. Nick I’m hoping you find these. The day had been fairly warm until the wind came up. You can see our haul line blowing sideways into the pic.
This last pic is Nick on P5 of Southern Man taken the next day.

Maybe there are more? Maybe in Black Canyon? This one is on Washington column in Yosemite.

I've always been in awe of the reach Layton had to drill that thing.

In awe of someones reach? Pretty commonplace for really tall people.

Thanks, though I should've known it was the Column. Kor roof on the painted wall, Kor roof on Steamboat rock. I'm sure there's more......

Ya know, every time I see that thing it amazes me how it actually goes free.
Anyone know who did the F.F.A of South Face? Wonder how many people have actually freed that roof.

Seems like Dave Shultz comes to mind on the FFA.

I was under the impression the free variation skirted the route to the left and then tiptoed back right to the crack above the roof. I may be wrong, but I don't think the roof itself goes free.

Done many times with the original Kor bolts,fortunately they had rotten supper tape on them and you just had to time the "grab" correct. The new bolts sure simplified the antics. Following that pitch, is the real treat like Mike said.....HAHAHA.

Thanks for posting the cool pics. It brought back memories of my struggle to clean that pitch. It was such a cool spot. I remember resting between pieces and spinning around to one of the best views ever of Half Dome. And the air beneath seemed huge.
