The final moves before the top

Pitch 4

Leading up the splitter crack of "man-hands" on P3. Dolomite Spire looms to the right.

Don't forgot to tie your tagline to the anchors!

Aaron entering the hard section on the wild P4...

I copied Brad Brandewie's photo and added in some helpful details. <br>
<br>
We belayed on the spacious summit ledge and then did the wild down-climb onto the bolt rap anchor (red X's). <br>
<br>
I did see the slung block for Clearlight's summit rappel (red arrow). Appeared easy to get to. I'll try that way off next time. <br>
<br>
Chalk is visible in this photo on many holds. The crux is pulling/stemming left out of the overhung corner.

This is a copy of Brad Brandewie's photo of Ian McAlexander on Dolomite Tower, Kor Route. <br>
<br>
Much of the third pitch of Infrared is marked (white dashes). <br>
<br>
Josh Janes's description mentions a bolt protecting a loose block (white circle). The belayer is pinned in place by two bolts directly under it. When my turn came to yank on it...it felt pretty good. Whew!

Looking at the upper part of Infrared from Dolomite Spire.

Copy of Brad Brandewie's photo. Thanks for posting these shot's!<br>
<br>
Yellow X's are all the bolt locations I could remember. Could be more bolts than marked for the final pitch.<br>
<br>
The yellow arrow is the Clearlight summit anchor. <br>

Ben finishing up p3. Excellent splitter, obvious from the road.

Matt on the first pitch.

Steep!

The Infrared buttress, Dolomite Spire, and Lighthouse Tower at the end of the day.<br>
<br>
Infrared is the right-most of the three obvious lines on the buttress.
