Another fun pitch (maybe the 5th?) on solar slab. The dark slot directly below us is the solar slab gully.

Consulting the good book/guide book.

This is the lower of two walk+rap off options. Go higher past the last pitch, follow cairns to climbers left... keep following these cairns, the will drop down past this to a huge detached pillar/block. You can downclimb to rap anchors nearby.

Three climbers on Solar Slab with one hidden up in the great pitch 3 finger crack

Pitch 1, Solar Slab. The crack you are aiming for is the one on the right leading to the tree.

A titon in the wild at the second rap anchor on the walkoff descent after doing all nine pitches (photo taken 2/22/21).

Looking back towards the arch after having passed under it. This is a landmark for the higher walk + rap option. Go a little higher, find cairns leading into a gully, a few single rope raps, one optional, then down painted bowl, towards IBM boulder, etc

Bolt taken from top of pitch 6. Don't always trust bolts, you can't see what is under the surface.
