The route mostly follows a crack system in the middle of the photo, you’ll probably be able to pick it out.

*Update* Sarah’s book Flakes, Jugs, and Splitters won Best Book in the Mountain Exposition category at the 2009 Banff Mountain Film Festival!

Flakes, Jugs, and Splitters is A Rock Climber’s Guide to Geology by Sarah Garlick. This is a great book if you are a rock climber, geologist, or just interested in the processes that have shaped the Earth. As a geology major in my college days, it was great to refresh my knowledge of the different climbing areas I’ve visited. I’ll post a few of the photos that I have in the book below (along with Sarah’s text). You should go find this book at a local store or order from the Amazon link above.

This photo has a bit of grain/noise in it, but that’s the image quality tradeoff when taking long exposures with a small camera. You’re looking at climbers in portaledges on the climb Lunar Ecstasy in Zion National Park, taken on the climb Sheer Lunacy.

Photo Details: Panasonic Lumix LX3 on mini tripod, 30s at f/2.8 and ISO 400.
