That start of the climb.

Don Owens stepping right to gain the first belay ledge ~10 feet above him. Note how well the crack takes pro on the first pitch.

Ben leading North Face Center, Cob Rock.

Eric at the base of the start. The person up higher is falling backwards off the route.

Traverse to get to Cob Rock.

Climbers, beware of ferocious beasts on the summit.

Finishing the second pitch. Note and beware of the huge detached flake behind my belayer.

Looking up at most of the route, you can see pretty much up to the first belay.

Coming up to a great belay perch about 110' up.

Leif is getting tired and grumpy, starting second pitch.

Clint Locks on top of second pitch of North Face Center.

Christa Cline leading the crux hand crack on the first pitch.

This is the V-notch exit from the belay. It is easy (although I would call it more than 5.0) and saves the crack finish for Empor.

The fun step across to the final pitch at the top of pitch 1 or 2 depending on how you do it.

P1 belay is marked with the black oval. The green line highlights the route proper, I believe. The red line is tempting but forces a large step-over at the top, to meet up with the green line.

Eds. The typically used belay is actually higher.

The base of the route.

Peter Dillon nearing the airy belay pedestal at the end of the first pitch.

Near the top of the first pitch.

The route proper takes the green line, I believe. If you take the red line, be prepared for a large and somewhat thin step-over onto the P1 belay ledge.

Start of the North Face Center and North Face Left.

On the first pitch, looking down.
