Beware of the fat bastard at the base who will unabashedly steal your food.

The Prow has excellent cell reception. David Katz buying low and selling high

Looking up Pitch 1 of the Prow. JP on lead.

Looking down pitch 5 at the reachy bolt ladder. That's one blank steep face!

Richard happy to be into a bolt. That is his happy face.

Pitch 6

Looking up pitch 5. The reachy bolt ladder starts just after the crack peters out on the blank face.

Looking down pitch 4.

On the decent. The prow is the wall in the background.

P2. Don't move right on this pitch, go left to the anchors under the roof.

Tapir Terrace, looking at the rest of the route. BTW I went right to some old bivy anchors. So we had to shuttle our bags over left to get back under the route.

This is about the last aid move on the route followed by some 5.6-5.7 scrambling to the summit.

The P3 roof

Sunset on the summit. Just enough light left to get down the NDG following an in a day ascent.

The Prow, seen from the North Dome Gully descent trail.

definitely no stoke to be found

Summit bivy on top of Washington Column

feeling cozy between these proud faces high on the Prow

When it started raining we got the ledge up in record time.

Steep, slight overhang

I was in a waterfall while belaying this pitch in the rain.

Me heading up p9 in the dark.
