Looking up from the base of Mainliner.

Mainliner P1-- "O"= belay, "x"= fixed wire.

P4 corner crack.

First pitch.

Maggie Merchant starting up the fourth pitch. The crux is a step left where the crack widens about 20' above.

5.9 pod and bulge section on pitch 3.

Pitch 1 in the obtuse dihedral.

Looking down. The climber is at the belay ledge at the typical end of pitch 1 of Mainliner (I went a bit high to clean a fixed cam).

The 5.9 stem section on pitch 3. Typical rgw belay is higher than where the belay is in this photo, but we were linking pitches.

Pitch 5.

Joe doing the stem moves on pitch three as seen from below. No pictures added of this view yet so I thought I would.

Crux stem on Mainliner.

Enjoying the stem box.

Maggie Merchant laybacking the slot on the third pitch. Many people stem the slot instead of laybacking.

Starting pitch 4.

Maggie Merchant starting up the thin cracks on the second pitch.

Dana shredding it.

Start of 2nd pitch if done as 3. Normally the start of the 3rd....

The belay at the start of pitch 5.

Cruzin' the last moves on pitch 5. What great views from up here!

Joe headed up the first pitch. I believe that he is at the actual belay ledge for P1. If you're dumb like me, you will get off route, just blow by it, and then not have enough gear to make it to the second belay ledge.

Amazing views atop Sundance Buttress!

Cheeze!

Joe, riding the pillar at the top of P3.

The 5.9 bulge on the upper P3.

"The Needle", which is the highest point on Lumpy Ridge at 10,086' with an AQI of 100.
