Looking down the first pitch. The crack in the foreground eventually delineates the arch.<br> <br> From this belay stance you can squeeze down through the crack and reach the underside of the arch and hiking territory. How do I know that? Because I did it in the opposite direction before the climb, we hiked up under the arch, and I squeezed through the crack and out onto the face, the exact spot I ended up belaying.

Looking up at the arch which you climb over. You have to hike up left of the climb to get this perspective.
Climbing above the arch.
The East Ridge route, viewed from The Regency, with a soloist in a red shirt on the arch section. The actual "hammerhead" is out of view at the top.
Ropeless on the East Ridge Route of Hammerhead.
The start.
The arch on the east face of Hammerhead.
The conflicting angles of the tree on the right and the tree in the background are still confusing me. Anyways here's the underside of the arch.
The climber is crossing the arch, although it doesn't appear to be an arch in the photo.
