Epic perspective of the North Face from a 540'/160m highline off the top of the Rostrum.

Can't get a shot like this unless you use a drone, but my buddy Alonso had his phone with him as he was seshing the line.

Alien Roof Finish

This is what the flake at the start of P2 did to a party in front of us when the leader fell. The BD #3 behind the flake did hold, but the rope got a core shot. They bailed.

Every pitch on this climb is outstanding. This is pitch 5.

The best pitch of the climb

Yet another way you can protect your #5 cam if you leave it in the crack on pitch 8. There is a tiny, shallow crack that takes a black totem, and this short quickdraw will keep the upper part of the rope from pushing the cam too deep into the crack.
