Fun 5.7 (red dots) 'variation' to White Maiden's Walkaway. This was well protected the whole way.

Looking up at Pitch 1

The route, with approximate belay sites. The first pitch is blocked by the trees.

In this photo you can see the three options for the final pitch. On the left is the 5.7 overhangs, the middle where I'm at is the standard 5.3 finish, and below me on the right is the 5.1 fingertip traverse finish.

Bottom of Right of Start Variation. 5.6

Great way to finish with a easy but spectacular finish around the right side of roof !

Photo of White Maiden's Walkaway, with the route drawn on it. You can either start directly behind the tall trees, or left at the smaller tree. The best place for the first belay is at a smaller tree hidden behind the larger one.

The regular finish goes through this small tree.

The start.

You can stretch a rope from the P1 Belay to the ledge with bushes in a long 65 meter pitch at ~ 5.7 .. There is a tasty finger crack right at the end, and is a great way to link / pass parties. It is also much more direct than the normal P2 & P3 route.

Leading pitch 6, 5.3 variation. Super fun!

Beware of LOOSE BLOCK top of pitch 2, it will come off with enough force. 4/28/18

5.6 variation after first pitch...do it !!

PIC OF 4TH BELAY AT TREE, LOOKING UP TO START OF PITCH 5.

At the 3rd pitch traverse to the vertical crack. Above this pitch is where the step around or doubtful corner is.

At the last pitch, belaying Barry on the roof section finish.

view from the last belay.

View of the buttress

Start of P2, if using alternative P1. Carry straight up the ramp. End of pitch leaves you very close to top of traditional P1.

Alternative start to traditional P1 (lower on the buttress and climber's right). Follow the crack up to where the rock plateaus off and there's a little bowl with a few bush/trees.

My friend David leading P3, just above the traverse.

A good shot of the belay ledge atop the "tooth," pitch 2. (reference for my friend John, lol)
