Giant snow cone at the base of the route on July 31, 2011. It was over 50' tall and required some step kicking, then runout climbing right of pitch 1, which was dripping wet.

A better angle of the wide section on P19. The #4 protects a ~15-20 foot section of relatively easy liebacking.

Steven on the bivy ledge at P11. Fits two comfortably, maybe 3-4 in a pinch.

Approach beta – Exit old growth into the avalanche gully at 2200' elev. Prominent grey cedar snag and cairn mark the exit point. I found it easiest to step across the 2 big fallen logs in the slide alder and follow diagonal traverse down/across alders.

Connor showing his distaste for the mosquitos at the P6 bivy. There is another flat sleeping spot and there was about 5 gallons of water in a dirty puddle just above

We found ~1-2 gal water midway up p15. Who knows if it will stick around..

Gleaming white granite on pitch 16

Shane coming up the wide section on P19. If it looks like you'd be comfortable on this, you can leave the #4 at home. (Pretty secure 5.8 undercling/lieback)

Looking down on balcony midway up p12

Forrest on the Headwall (p11) before the balcony bivvy

Tsonked at the log crossing as of July 18th 2023
