Not that route finding is any kind of challenge on this route, but here's a topo anyway!

The first pitch in its entirety. Craggy Tur to the left and Miss Manners to the right.

beginning the hike up the excellent first friction pitch - also a decent idea of where this route starts (left end of the dome).

Starting up P3, with perhaps the Castle in the background.

Pitch 3.

Top of pitch 1.

Third pitch below the crux section.

Make a long reach over the ceiling using an undercling. The next ceiling is harder than it at first appears, and is climbed just left of the bush on the right of the photo. Above this, angle left and then up on an easy, knobby face to a short 9 headwall at the top of the pitch.

The P1 anchor. A panoramic picture, so the angle is not this steep.

Panorama from the top. Walking off to climber's left is possible but a little brutal with all the boulders.

Stef leading P1 of this fine route.

Looking down at the first belay.

Leaving the anchors for the final pitch. This route is so freakin' good.

Good Job, Cindy!

A fun route.

Slab master in action.

2nd half of P2 (above the overhangs).

Here's the start, you can see the 2 - 3 feet of snow at the bottom. Maybe it helps with the initial crux.

Looking down from P3.

More slab fun.

Aaron leadin' on.... The crux is a spicy move through the obvious horizontal crease at the bottom of the pic.

The rappel.

Sam cruising up the start of P2.

Nice backlight on P3 with a midday ascent.

Brian on the upper part of P2, where the bolts get spaced out a bit.

About 1/3 way up the first pitch. After the first few moves past the overlap at the bottom of the photo, there are few positive holds. The climbing eases up in a few places, in particular where Craggy Tur diagonals across this route from left to right.
