Looking down the killer corner of pitch 4

Climbing the Remsberg Variation for the NW Face. "The Flakes" (5.8+) of the regular route for the NW Face are to the right in the photo.

The 4th/low5th step to get onto the ledge below the W and NW Faces of Liberty Bell.

The dropoff just left of where the route starts.

Pitch 2.

Looking down on the start of the 4th pitch. Outstanding climbing.

Pitch 4. The money pitch.

Pitch 1.

Zach leading the last (5th) pitch

A view of me leading the 3rd pitch, with the thin flakes below. The rope makes it look like I am doing a traverse because I didn't want my belayer beneath me for the start (though I didn't think the flakes were super dangerous, and they do indeed become more solid further up). Also, I enjoyed the crux on this pitch as much as the 5.9 pitch above.

Looking up the 5.9 4th pitch, aka. the money pitch

Looking down on the top of the 3rd pitch where the flakes transition right into a rampy corner.

The Washington Pass spires from the West. Liberty Bell is on the left. The NW face roughly climbs the left skyline in this photo.
