Exposed moves on the upper exum!

Looking down from the beginning of the Wind Tunnel pitches

Blazing sunrise just above the Golden Staircase. It's worth getting up early! Shortened single 60m Simuling party of three worked great. Lay rope far climbers' right on the slung rock rappel and you have enough.

You know you're on top when there's no where else to go. Darin Lang, Rob Brown and Scott Hansen, Aug 2006.

Nearing the summit

The final pitch above the Petzoldt Lieback, Warren is climbing the "small 10' tower". The summit is only a few minutes away.

Snowfield just before the last scramble at the top.

This is the view from the guides camp in the lower saddle. Note that there is a bit of multipath interference on the GPS track near wall street so it does not follow the red path exactly through that section.

Rappeling from above Petzoldt's lieback pitch. Below lies an alternate 60m rappel which leaves you below all the difficulties on the Owen Spalding. Note the fresh snow (September).

A party climbing the Petzoldt Ridge, as viwed from the Exum. This group was led by Doug Coombs who we later met near the summit and talked to on the descent. Photo taken September 2003.
