Kat A. transitioning from under-cling to knee-bar under the roof on P2. An interesting solution....

The traverse pitch.

Pulling the roof on the 3rd pitch soooo good.

Clean Dan Grandusky on the crux pitch, on the first ascent of Cary Granite, 1990. The two cracks to the right are Good Evans and Road Warrior, respectively.

Varied and clean - pitch 2 - 2015.

As seen from base: Cary Granite, Good Evans, Road Warrior.

Getting psyched for the traverse, wishing there were any feet. By Paul Gagner.

Another look at the hand crack after the 5.11 roof on p3.

Glow on the Black Wall.

P2 of Cary Granite is broken into 3 sections, the bottom 1/3rd being obtuse stemming, the middle layback and gaston (here), and the undercling roof at the top.

2nd pitch is killer!

Kat A. follows P1 of Cary Granite (5.11-).

Joe on last pitch.

Looking up at the fine belay ledge at the top of pitch 2. The 11c face traverse starts right off this ledge, goes to the crack, and then more 5.11 thru the roof.

The crux of P1 of Cary Granite (shared with Good Evans) is thin for hands and feet but is well-protected and solid rock.

Kat A. emerges from under the roof on P2, ready to battle the crux of that pitch (5.11- again).

Kat A. finishes out on the less perfect P4 of Cary Granite. It is a good 5.10 pitch but lacks the steep and clean, perfect stone characteristic of the pitches below.

It's a good idea to tape fingers for sharp flake just above roof on pitch 3.

The nice belay at the end of the crux pitch. Look left around the arete.

Kat A. starts up following the long P2 (5.11-) of Cary Grantie. This pitch is deceptively good!
