Looking down the second "pitch" of the Night Cap. Not much real estate up top, just enough for you and your partner to soak in the awesome view.

Looking up the 5.2 ramp from the base. GO THIS WAY to keep it 5.8. You could place a couple pieces on this, but IMO it's better to just scramble up to the the first station with your partner and belay from there.
Looking down from the top of the route. I linked Spooner Crack into this for one long pitch. Long runners were helpful.

We made it
Devyn working the slabby slab
Rapping off in Nov 2020.
Best lay angle view. Now I know why it's called Night Cap
Above the tree line! highly recommend a sunset clime if you can time it right.
The a fore mentioned "nasty old rusty piece of crap metal chunk". It's very bulky and total overkill by the way. The square piece of metal is a solid 3/8" thick, with a 1/2" bolt going into the rock. the patina of rust does not inspire confidence though.
