An armatron.

Bighorn stopping at the base of Armatron to check us out, October 2010.

Walkoff from the top of Armatron, Pitch 6. Once at the summit head climber's right 2 minutes to a tree with a trail which takes you Northeast/down into the descent gully. Beware the narrow ledge is fairly narrow but very easy/low angle with exposure.

Matt coming up the amazing 3rd pitch of Armatron, October 2010.

Pitch 3 is protected mostly by nuts between the brownstone blocks. Offsets work great.

Following the arete on the 6th and final pitch, the position of this climb is incredible. Photo credit Chris Lund.

The last pitch of the route, which is the last pitch of Requiem for a Tadpole.

Looking down the 3rd pitch from the middle of the lead.

Pitch 3 is protected mostly by nuts between the brownstone blocks. Offsets work great.

So many slick plates. Placed something like 8-10 pieces of pro. Surprisingly thoughtful slow climbing. Easy to slip.

Pitch 2, 5.9 finger crack section.

Questing up the slab.

Horizontal cam placement on Pitch 4.

Climbers reaching the belay at the base of pitch 3. The climber in the lower left of the photo is leading pitch 2.

View of 'Armatron' from the Juniper Canyon drainage. The picture was taken from about where you head up the talus/slabs to the base of the Brownstone Wall. Route goes up where arrow points (angled due to perspective).

The approach slabs and northern section of the Brownstone Wall with Armatron.

Approaching Armatron from the top of Geronimo. Armatron climbs the pillar on the left side of the photo, left of the twin gullies. Possible descent route on the right.

Looking up at the amazing pitch 3 and 4.

J. Connell Leading Pitch 2, just beyond the initial finger crack and the right traverse to gain the next line.

Pitch 3 is mostly protected by nuts between the brownstone blocks. There are a few horizontals that take cams. Here is a photo of the #2 placement mentioned in some route descriptions.
