Pulling over the crux overhang on my 3rd rock climb ever!

Looking down from the 1st belay. On the bottom of the photo, you can see the gap between the large boulder and the Matron wall which you must stem/chimney up to get to the 1st pitch.

Ken & Margaret at the summit.

SW rappel station.

Access to the base of the 1st pitch is just over this large block. Stem/chimney up the left side of the boulder to get to the start of the climb on top.

Still pretty reasonable even with a little lingering November snow.
