Out of the sun on a cold day. On the ledge after the crux pitch

Blue line is the original Kor-Ingalls second pitch. There is one bolt on the left wall of the crack. Going this way means you get to use the cool hueco, circled in green. Pro your second for the traverse back right.

Probably 1975. Long before "50 Classics" times. First of many, many times climbing it - seemed like a yearly thing

Route photo, the Kor-Ingalls route follows the obvious crack and chimney system up the middle of the face.

Cool, albeit slippery calcite on the left wall.

Some very important beta on the descent found in the summit register.

Summit!

Anders, the Euro Sportclimber, still smiling with 400ft of air below his feet. N Face rap off Casleton with parties on the Rectory's Fine Jade in the background.

Why it's best to have a plan B for K-I.

Swearing and rope tension prove to be an effective combo as Brandi escapes the Pitch 3 calcite hellhole.

In the second section of pitch 1.

Pitch 4: Why settle for the fun 5.7 face to the right when you can continue the classic wideness in the 5.9 slot to the left?

looking down

(L-R) Eli Powell and Brian Wandzilak show they are mentally prepared for what awaits.

Joel Baron and Bo Johnston at the north face rap achors!
