The Main Face from down in the woods. The bushwhack to the cliff, mostly contouring @ ~ 2000' from the hiking trail, really isn't too bad. A reasonable alternative to the typical approach.

From Route 302 - The left skyline is "Skyline Promenade" and the low angle "whaleback" in the foreground is a nice Class 3 / 4 scramble, but takes longer than the trail.

Looking at the upper crack of P1 of Green Mile.

Start of Saber - No Pro in the depression that looks like a crack

What NOT to do on a hiking trail with a drill, hammer, or chisel. This is located a couple of hundred feet before the col between Middle and North Sugarloaf.
