The top of the crux pitch. Awesome exposure on perfect golden granite.

Guy coming up the stellar dihedral on the crux pitch. There are some nice, sanity bolts in this section where the crack pinches down and becomes non-existent.

Looking up at the "half circle". Great 5.10 finger locks to pull over the roof.

The half circle pitch.

Pitch 7 (pitch count starting from Middle Earth Ledge).

One of the rap anchors. One descent option is to rap from anchors on and just left of the route (5 rappels with double ropes).

Pitch 4 (pitch count starting from Middle Earth Ledge).

Jeff pulling out of the half circle on All Too Obvious.

Pitch 1 (starting from Middle Earth Ledge).

Guy coming up our 2nd pitch (5.8), which avoids the 10d pitch in the route description. This pitch goes straight up from the 1st pitch belay on huge flakes, traverses right to gain the pictured dihedral (sketchy gear up to this point, but bomber gear once in the dihedral), and then traverses hard right again on a ledge system to the base of the next pitch, which is the 5.9 dihedral w/ thin gear, that leads to the 5.10 'half circle' pitch.

If you're not smiling by this point on ATO, maybe you should take up...golf?

The start of the approach pitch to get you to Middle Earth Ledge. There are other options too.

Higher on pitch 6 (pitch count starting from Middle Earth Ledge).

One of the best pitches in the Park....
