There is this crazy hot tub looking bowl thing at the top. Make sure to lounge and rest up for the hike down.

Trip to Sheepshead New Years Weekend- Peacemaker totally iced over after the winter storm!

Mark following P1. Clipping this last bolt was.... "interesting"

The view from the top of P4. Stunning.

Forth belay.We untied and took a nice break

View of the sheepshead from the camping area. The trail winds through the grassy fields, really beautiful in the morning light.

View from the 4th pitch belay.

P2 of Peacemaker from Absinthe. Temporary submission.

Take a moment to chill out once you get to the ledge of P4.

Fun Route.

Last pitch of 'Absinthe'

Dave (Zion) Jones. Starting second pitch/

At the top of the 6th pitch belay. Someone previously said the nuts were spinning on the bolts, but they aren't spinning now.

Conner belaying at the top anchor

P3 arete variation! climb up and right to the super rad, exposed arete! you could clip the first bolt on the pitch before traversing or you could just punch it cause you shouldn't fall anyway. meets back up with the bolted line after 30+ feet?

Camping area, not much to look at.

An older chap than Dave.....Paul Ross on P3. Photo David Jones.

I liked the angle of my shadow on the pitch 3 belay station. As you can see, I protected the airy last bolt.

This is the belay ledge from the top of the 4th pitch. Its pretty much in the shape of a pool recliner, making it super comfy.

Leading the Second Pitch. Thought the first 50ft of this pitch was the crux of the route.

Top of the third pitch

Last pitch with the strange double belay anchors. Just skip the first set you see at the top and go for the second set.

Top of the second pitch.

This is the belay for the 3rd pitch. All of these belays are on pretty good ledges and the bolts are perfect for most of the route.
