The route, just above the distinctive "M" formation in the middle part of the face. If this picture doesn't excite you, check your pulse.

A topo of select routes up the 2nd Apron.

Route taken 09/08/2013.

The yellow is the first route I took, the blue is the route I took this time, the red is where Hammertime went. The yellow routes first pitch is dicey, especially if one continues straight up from the fixed pin (green x).

The beta on the early season approach.

See that pretty flake? Follow it!

2nd Apron routes, notice the "M" feature about a third of the way up from the bottom, and at the right corner of the small snow patch at the base you can see a belayer in a green jacket. Shot on July 20, 2018.

Matt gearing up to lead the second pitch. This was the mossy ledge underneath the "M" feature, on the right side route.

We started up this flake to the left of another obvious crack. The laybacking was high quality!

What a view! Class 3 from here to West Ridge of Evans, about 50m above.

Carson belays near the top of the climb.

Jeff starting up the first pitch.

The start of our climb on the 2nd Apron (right of Right Side route) on August 1 2009!

Ridge traverse to the summit.

Mikey leaving the first belay. I ended P1 at a point about 20 feet up and two the right of the "M". Comfy.

On pitch 1.

Snow at the base of the climb.

View of summit lake and the parking lot from the top. Stellar.

2nd or third pitch?

I took the flake up and traversed right into the finger crack.

Sitting on top of P2 on the comfiest belay ledge waiting for my partner to come up.

Traverse across the ridge on the easily marked path to the parking lot, and if you're lucky, hitch a ride back down to your car!

Brian following on P1 with an alpine weasel standing guard, trying to eat my rope! Cute lil bugger.

Topped out and enjoying the view. This has gotta be my favorite place to take people to to get their feet wet in alpine climbing.

On the approach.

Thin crack on P1.

Looking halfway down P1.
