The "P1 approach gully" photo from late 2019 is pretty misleading if you don't have the added context this shot provides. Rather than being a gully at the *base* of the climb, the gully pictured in the 2019 photo is at the *very top* of the P1 5.easy.
P6 (line "U" in Bill's photo) - exit pitch for Route 6 and Standard S Route.

Rollie finishing up line "U" above final snow-filled couloir. The rocky ledge next to the fallen dead tree below is the top of line "X" (P5 of Route 6).

P1 gully (after the initial 5th class) just below large clump of trees (shared with Standard S Route & Route 6).
Bill tops out on Line "U".
Bill stems the left-facing dihedral about halfway up the Standard S Route.
This is roughly the path we took up the Standard S Route, finishing on line "U" as our exit pitch.
Possible exit pitch - line "T" in Bill's photo.
Realizing there are other variations, this is the one we mostly followed.
Standard S Route as seen from the top of the Prow. 2/6/09.
The S-Route takes the ramp up and right to the first large clump of trees, then left to the next large clump, then angles up and right in a gully to a final nice pitch leading to the top.
