Placing gear on pitch 7

There's a lot of photos of the Diagonal already but I really liked this one that a random photographer grabbed of my buddy and me, it shows the whole of P4 really well

Looking down pitch 3

The rappel took two 60 mm ropes. I believe there are 4 or 5 to get you to the bottom of the face. The one in the picture is the best one. Free hanging for most of it.

Perhaps a rare occurrence... 3 climbers on the ramp as I was hiking by towards the Case route. You also get to see how wide it is.

Grant in the bottom corner after I lead the diagonal pitch. Super fun climbing!

Pitch 6, The Diagonal

Looking down the ramp

The diagnol

I believe we were slightly right of where we should have been on the second pitch. From this point we moved up right and to a small slab where there was a pin. Upon exiting this area it shot us out about 40 above the anchors on the ramp.

Trail marking the start of the climbers herd path off of Indian Pass trail. Note the cairns and "W-for-Wallface" tree. Cool.

Looking down the ramp pitch...cramped belay for 3, but cool position! Nice to climb this without pants
