Fantastic route for beginning, sport multi-pitch. Beautiful light that bounces through the valley when the suns setting.

Looking down from the top of the second pitch on a snowy aid solo. No crowds today....

A golden eagle lands at the nest on the 4th pitch of Young and Rackless while investigating this and other potential nest sites prior to egg laying (see comment below).

The Young and the Rackless.

Please be aware that this route is closed on Feb. 1 annually for an eagle nest.

Pitch 3, showing left and right variations.

Rapping to the right of the route (climber's right) will get you down in two raps with one 60m rope.

Pitches 1 and 2....

This is a photo of the 2nd rap station that works for a 60m rope. Trend right as you rap down from the anchors at the top of P4, and you'll find this station. From here, a 60 meter rope with knots tied at the end will just tickle the ground.

A good view of most of the first, all of the second, and a lot of the third pitch from the base. The fourth is out of view.

Fun, fun, fun.

On the first half.

Belayer for hire. Me belaying my padnah at P2.

Hunter topping out just over the crux of pitch 2.

Looking up at pitch 2 from the belay ledge.

Hunter sending the first two pitches of TYATR! We were young, but we weren't rackless! We just chose to leave them in the car and just bring our draws!

Hunter and I at the top of the third pitch. Cob Rock in the background. North Center Face calling to us!

Hunter on the first crux of pitch three right below the second and 20 feet below the third. Yep, 3 cruxes on pitch 3!

Hunter rapping off, hands free! His blue car in view down below. It'd be nice to skydive off and get to the car quick!

Hunter chilling out under the second crux of pitch 3.

The view from the top of pitch 3.

Chose the left bulge variation.

Looking down pitch 3.
