I first thought these chopped steps to be ancient since most of the domes in the area contain steps. However after new information I see these are more recent. It's absolutely pathetic that climbers are chopping steps into any route.

Pitch three anchors, two bolts.

Pitch one anchor, a new chain has been added to the bolt that was missing one. As of 6/21/2020 there should be two chains.

Pitch two anchors, two bolts with quicklinks; and maybe rap rings

Looking glass rock - view of rap station from inside amphitheater. You can just make out someone about to rappel down.

beward of snakes at the start of looking glass rock!

Walking around above the arch.

Me on pitch 2 (I combined 2 and 3 with a 70m rope).

Looking up from the start of the first pitch. The first bolt is located right where the figure (Mark!) is pictured.

Don't forget the log book!
