Climbers on Pitch 3 (Red Dihedral)

Scary, nasty descent. Best to be done while there is still daylight.

Erica M exits the Red Dihedral

The hand crack on pitch 5 perfectly splits an otherwise clean, smooth face. Heaven!

The summit smirk

Two Towers

the only description I can come up with is "How to f@ck up someone's experience on a crux pitch". A dickish move IMHO, cosidering that after 4 pitch there are many ways to pass a slower party.

Start of roped climbing to link p1-2 (per supertopo description). aug. 2016

Fred Batliner starts P2

Pitch 11 & 12 Chimney

Getting ready to take on the penultimate pitch.

SPLITTER

Tight, even for a skinny lad like me!

Red Dihedral Route with Robert Carrere

Climbing on the Red Dihedral. The namesake dihedral looms above.

Coming out of the key hole on the last pitch.

If you start just before the 5.8 bulge, a 70m will get you all the way to the dihedral.

At 6'5" I struggled *hard* to get through the "birth canal" exit to the summit. September 2007.

Rob on Red Dihedral

Great climbing and great scenery on the Red Dihedral.

Time to be born again! Only have to get through this hole to get to the top!

Last linked pitch to the summit, just above the Class 3 walk from the notch.
