The infamous Parking Lot. Mark Willey lays down and takes a nap before tackling the last pitch.

Scenic belay stance on the parking lot.

Parrrrrrrrking lot, sans rope

Seconding the second pitch of the Nose. I find it easier to just rope backpack the second rope, as I find double ropes aren't necessary. That way it's easier on the leader. This should give you a good idea of the angle!! Don't forget to check out the view

The start of the climb, just below the right facing flake/corner 10-15 feet above the ground.

Cruising up P1 and placing a nice cam in one of the deep horizontals. Stoke level was high!
