Last pitch of Icarus / Yellow Spur.

Kirra and I on Icarus. I forget the name of the photographer that made this nice montage.

A cool shot of Ivan from the extended belay station. Pretty neat!

Chase about to start the last (shared) pitch of Yellow Spur.

The view from halfway up Icarus. Pretty sweet!

A party finishing the last pitch in some serious HEAT! If you guys see this, I've got a bunch more shots to send you... .

An unknown climber starting up Icarus. This and the next 2 photos taken from Green Slab Direct. I think.

John psyched to start the final arete.

Barry making the traverse from the summit to the Dirty Deed's rappel start.

Brian C. on the runout pitch.

Summit.

Unknown climber on the arete. This climber stayed here for what seemed like forever, climbing up and down, trying to get in gear, before downclimbing all the way to the Red Ledge. Perhaps he traversed right too low?

Unknown climber traversing out to the arete.

Can't beat the position.

Almost at the top.

A climber reaching the final traverse of Icarus....

Starting up the last pitch of Icarus / Yellow Spur.

Looking toward Lumpe Tower.

Placing some pro before tackling the runout face. There is a lot of climbing up open dihedrals then traversing right under where it roofs. The climbing is fairly easy and feels secure. You'll want to extend everything or run it out to avoid bad rope drag.

Second corner.

Steep (but lots of holds).

First corner.
