Frank Crosses the Talus

Stella and Bill scout out a route on the left side above the rockslide, which is one possibility we discussed. Another was straight up ther center of the rockslide. While Stella and Bill scale a steep slope on the left, Frank decides to throw his chips up the middle. This turns out to be a mistake, so he heads up along the right wall instead where the rocks are not quite as big and he gains some altitude.
