The beauty and grace of alpine climbing

Grassy Ledges Approach. Looks improbable from afar but is easy (when dry).

Pretty good view of the east ridge from the pingora rappels

Traversing among amazing scenery

Hand traverse. One of the easier traverses, as friction on the slab is good.

First tower traverse on south side. Moving into the chimney towards Piton Pitch. Tagging the pack off belay loop here was helpful. Was able to link this into Piton without too much rope drag.
