Looking up P2. The climber is at the bolt. Yellow dashes show where to breach the big roof.

Hand-drilled bolted anchors at the top of every pitch, equipped for rappel with a single 70m rope (until final rappel).

The second bolt on July 9, 2022. When the snow melts, this bolt is 16' feet off the talus!

People are having trouble route finding on P3. This shows exactly where to go through the roof and onto the slab. The bolt is just above the climber.

Eric on P6.

The start of the route in relation to Sykes' Sickle.

The start of first pitch, July 16, 2022. We could just reach the bolt from the snow. Beware of quite a high first bolt on 5.11 terrain once snow melts.

James heading up P2.

Starting pitch 1.

The seam on pitch 4. There are 5 fixed LAs (the "LA Times" pitch).
