| School teacher Sean Baughn from Shoreline,
Wash. highlighted his summer break with a customized two-day
rock skills workshop. The first day was spent at the renown
Fun Rock in Mazama. The second day took place on Liberty Bell
where we experienced what is fondly know as the "Trifecta of
Fun" - the Beckey Route, Rapple Grapple and Overexposure. |

on the Beckey Route. |

 |
| Clean granite on pitch two. Sean did
a great job of staying out of the chimney sections. |
|
| |
 |
| Looking casual on the slab exit. (Up
rope, Paul...). |
|
| |
 |
| One down and two more to go. |
|
| |
 |
| Second pitch of Rapple Grapple. Great
climbing that rivals any other pitch in the area of that
grade. |
|
| |
 |
| Good jams, a nice position and warm sunshine.
|
|
| |
 |
| Another sweet belay spot for the final
pitch of Rapple Grapple. |
|
| |
 |
| Last, but certainly not least, the finish
on Overexposure. We had the whole col to ourselves that
day so it was no worries ascending Overexposure, the descent
line to get off Liberty Bell. Stringing the route in one
long pitch makes Overexposure the best 5.8 in the area
hands down! |
|
| |
 |
| Last moves on a full day of fun. |
|
 |
| Final rap of the day. |
