The infamous Parking Lot. Mark Willey lays down and takes a nap before tackling the last pitch.

From the base of the Nose.

Scenic belay stance on the parking lot.

Parrrrrrrrking lot, sans rope

Seconding the second pitch of the Nose. I find it easier to just rope backpack the second rope, as I find double ropes aren't necessary. That way it's easier on the leader. This should give you a good idea of the angle!! Don't forget to check out the view

Gearing up for the fourth and final pitch. Funny how much easier it is to see the water streak in the photo than it was at the time. Photo by Huong.

Bomber anchor at base of pitch 4. BD #4, #3, #2. Makes the stance and belay for p4 very chill.
