We climbed the center of the face to the right of the large tapering pillar in '73. Moderate 5th but some loose and mossy parts! In the tradition of the emerging trend of the times-all nuts, no pitons or bolts. Also we did the sunlit face on the left margin of the photo and some TR on the upper section.

Looking across into the perpetually wet chimney/corner of the tapered pillar. We turned back part way up the steep, wet offwidth.
Perry Mansfield climbers at the base of Gilpin 1975. We did a few trad routes here in the late '60s and early '70s. I'll try digging up more photos.
