Father and son at the top!

Exposed moves on the upper exum!

Blazing sunrise just above the Golden Staircase. It's worth getting up early! Shortened single 60m Simuling party of three worked great. Lay rope far climbers' right on the slung rock rappel and you have enough.

Looking down from the beginning of the Wind Tunnel pitches

You know you're on top when there's no where else to go. Darin Lang, Rob Brown and Scott Hansen, Aug 2006.

Summit

Snowfield just before the last scramble at the top.

This is the view from the guides camp in the lower saddle. Note that there is a bit of multipath interference on the GPS track near wall street so it does not follow the red path exactly through that section.
