Honcho Boncho on the approach.
Leo heads up pitch 5.
Joe approaches to top of the left-facing dihedral on P6. The spacious belay is to the right of the pinnacle on the skyline.
Joe is on the other side of the sidewalk traverse to walking terrain.
Joe takes the left option and is at the crux of this pitch.
Joe approaches the notch at the top of P7. There is a mouse living up at this belay.
Joe tops out the climb near the cairned prow. This feels like a bunch of stacked blocks here.
Joe continues up on P8. There's a lot of rope drag on this short pitch (90').
The resident mouse (fast) comes out for a visit.
Joe starting P1 of the route (left start) after crossing scree on hard snow. Do not go too high here. You aim for below the lowest notch on the skyline.
This is the notch you are aiming for on P5.
Joe approaches the belay on P5 (after moving the belay to the right end of the ledge).
