Lots of rock, lots of snow.

Broken pinkie? No biggie. Drew will still climb it.

Bolt. These are Mammut bolts from the original bolting in 1988.

Top rappel anchor. To descend, make 7 double rope rappels of the route (P9, P7, P5, P4, P3, P2, P0).

Nate A. leading pitch 2.

The base of the route, starting on the two broken, rectangular blocks in the middle.

Ross pulls down on the "jug" on the crux on pitch 3.

The start of the first pitch. It was hard to see the first bolt (that happens on various pitches): straight up from the tat rap block next to the start pillar. Side note: sun all day in mid-July.

P6.
