View of the intimidating crux pitch. Belayer is visible in lower right corner. After climbing the long corner, you exit right at the roof - airy, exciting, but not a technically difficult finish.<br> <br> I did the entire corner and exit move in one pitch and belayed right on the prow. An awesome, comfortable stance with great gear AND great views. Also makes for a long (140 feet) and demanding pitch :)

Sam at the appropriate belay spot _after_ traversing under the roof. No rope drag from the pitch above if done this way. Fixed sling coming out of the crack

Looking down after the traverse. Excellent climb!
Looking up at the dihedral. Incredibly fun climbing.
Halfway up the crux pitch
The Dihedral of Horrors
Looking up at the roof pitch.
Short section of hand crack above the belay perch after the roof.
Pitch 2. The pitch before the stellar corner.
The 5.7R first pitch is pretty run out on slabby nubbins
Dihedral of Horrors. I used a topo that wasn't as helpful as this. Seemed the 5.9 crack on pitch 1 was the smartest way to go.
