Gotta love exposure

Taken with iPhone 5 but I absolutely love this photo as it conveys my happiness of being there so well...

Traveler's Buttress from approach

The awesome "Airy traverse" on pitch 3

The arete. There is a fixed pin just up and right, then go left around the corner.

Top of offwidth. You can stem the two cracks as soon as you get spit out of the offwidth.

The second pitch offwidth of Traveler Buttress.

Offwidthy goodness :)<br>
Half way up I was able to jam to put in gear by expanding my chest out. That held my body in there solid.

3rd pitch. Can you spot my belayer?

The great third pitch of Traveler Buttress.

Variation of the 2nd pitch if you're bad at offwidths like me. The start is to the right of the offwidth, around the corner. It's bolted but a small nut was very useful. It's a single pitch route in its own right.

Anticipation of a long way up... which once done I want to repeat all over again RIGHT AWAY :)

Low on the first pitch.

Arete climbing at it's finest, third pitch of Travelers Buttress

You can't really see them in the picture, but two of my buddies were on the third pitch of this climb.

Traveler's Buttress - the offwidth

Scotts ass in the notorious offwidth pitch of Travelers. He soon regreated taking all that gear.
