Parker tackles the final step before the summit. NOTE: It's not rotated - sure it's a strange angle, but rotation has nothing to do with it. Check my shadow bottom left.The photo is as I took it.

Looking down from about halfway. The East Face goes to the right (climber's left) of the buttress below. The reddish band variation comes up the other side of the buttress.

Headed up Middle Pal in October, some snow on route

May 29, 2015. A bit out of shape after a month of mostly unstable weather. I meet a group that same day who were heading in to do the standard route. I wonder how that went?

Approaching the medial moraine on the way up to the East Face.

Start of the route as seen from the top of the moraine.

The Red Rock Alternative start, follow that band of white rock up which will take you to the main chute. Rock on the right side of chute is most secure.

Some very exposed climbing at the start

Broad eastern face and routeline as seen from approach. Note start on left (south) side of medial moraine, and hidden tower passed on route.
