Walkoff from the top of Armatron, Pitch 6. Once at the summit head climber's right 2 minutes to a tree with a trail which takes you Northeast/down into the descent gully. Beware the narrow ledge is fairly narrow but very easy/low angle with exposure.

Pitch 3 is protected mostly by nuts between the brownstone blocks. Offsets work great.

Following the arete on the 6th and final pitch, the position of this climb is incredible. Photo credit Chris Lund.

The last pitch of the route, which is the last pitch of Requiem for a Tadpole.

So many slick plates. Placed something like 8-10 pieces of pro. Surprisingly thoughtful slow climbing. Easy to slip.

The upper pitches of Armatron. A river of varnish.

View of 'Armatron' from the Juniper Canyon drainage. The picture was taken from about where you head up the talus/slabs to the base of the Brownstone Wall. Route goes up where arrow points (angled due to perspective).

Approaching Armatron from the top of Geronimo. Armatron climbs the pillar on the left side of the photo, left of the twin gullies. Possible descent route on the right.

Pitch 3 is mostly protected by nuts between the brownstone blocks. There are a few horizontals that take cams. Here is a photo of the #2 placement mentioned in some route descriptions.
