This is a copy of Brad Brandewie's photo of Ian McAlexander on Dolomite Tower, Kor Route. <br> <br> Much of the third pitch of Infrared is marked (white dashes). <br> <br> Josh Janes's description mentions a bolt protecting a loose block (white circle). The belayer is pinned in place by two bolts directly under it. When my turn came to yank on it...it felt pretty good. Whew!

I copied Brad Brandewie's photo and added in some helpful details. <br> <br> We belayed on the spacious summit ledge and then did the wild down-climb onto the bolt rap anchor (red X's). <br> <br> I did see the slung block for Clearlight's summit rappel (red arrow). Appeared easy to get to. I'll try that way off next time. <br> <br> Chalk is visible in this photo on many holds. The crux is pulling/stemming left out of the overhung corner.
Looking at the upper part of Infrared from Dolomite Spire.
