I was just thinking about climbing some 5.8. Collusion!

Lousy shot of a wonderful Robbins route in Cracked Canyon: Chewbacca
Pirouette, same location: (maybe not 5.8, but I can't find a thread for 5.7):

^^^love the shot, iconic, in my mind I hear the leader yelling down "which way does the topo say?"
and the fumbling of fingers pulling the folded script from a pocket, the mind glancing at a few abstract lines with age inappropriate lettering (small) attempting to convey a highly abbreviated notation.
First ascents are so much more sane that way.

Mike Church leads Baby, Shawangunks, 1980
one of our first climbs in the 'Gunks, chosen because "how hard can 5.8 be?"
note the rack of hexes and nuts, and some tied slings, EB's on the feet.
By the way, Baby is an interesting 5.8 to lead... usually we did it, BITD, with about 4 pieces to the belay.
This is my oldest image of 5.8, and I've shown most of my other images (at least the presentable ones)...
...so this thread will wait for me to collect some more images, or for some of you to share your own.

Eagle Lake Cliff, Unknown Chimney 5.8 bolts!
After you lead the chimney you can TR an amazing 4 star arete 10c called 'Off the Wall'
You've also get a good view of climbers on Space Walk 11d

Cool shot of the crux traverse on Outer Space (rated 5.8+ back in the day). I was too lazy to even take pictures back then, let alone set up a shot like that!

No set-up involved in that shot of Outer Space. My friend who led the pitch before me sewed up the traverse and had so much rope drag that he had to belay early and just happened to be in the right spot for the photo.
