Start of the route from the stream bed. If you reach the gate you've gone too far.
Topo and Beta for Machete Direct.
Descent after rapping into the gulley. Remember to stay right after it opens up.
Approach to Machete. Balconies show up on your left.
Coming up the HUGE corner on Pitch 6.
After the second rappel, getting ready for one more. No more anchors after this but one sketchy 4th class descent for sure.
Looking up at the long runout on Pitch 2 (5.7R).
