The *New* Summit of the Finger of Fate as of 7.16.20

and yes, that is a Top Ramen shirt and pants :)

The route heads up the huge dihedral, then up sunlit arete to the right, tunnels through to the other side, then up to the summit.

Hole on right side on 5.5R slab you can sling

The last unprotectable summit pitch up the sweet arete.

The book is pretty obvious in this one

SUMMIT BLOCK HAS FALLEN

The 3rd class scramble (foreground) with the Crack pitch (listed as 4 or 5 depending on if you count the scramble.)

Heaven!

Coming up to the first belay.

Pitch 5

Approaching end of 2nd pitch just past the blocky terrain.

Rapping off the summit block.

Under the summit block and threading the needle!

The gorgeous summit!

Looking down from midway up pitch 2 just above roof.

June 29th, 2017. Lots of snow at the base of the route made for an interesting start to the climb.

On top of the world! Or at least the finger...

Summit register with chain and it's own bolt...some seriously questionable ethics considering there are two places on the climb that could use a single bolt to prevent a potentially lethal fall...

The runout slab on pitch 4 (someone should probably add a bolt, there is a bolt specifically for a summit register for crying out loud.)

Fast Eddie workin the 5.7 splitter on pitch 4!

Good look at the finger from the unnamed lake area.
