As we slowly made our way up the steep scree gully, we were passed by several young guys with the big calf's and when we came around the corner, met up with several more. Four parties of two using double rope technique. We politely passed all of them

Looming up the second or third last pitch. I linked these 2 pitches and belayed off 3 pitons before the final push to the summit

TOPO map

Once on the wide terrace on top of p10 (wnd of the climb), one can follow around a wide ledge going North toward the peak (100m)

p10 open book with a right exit toward a wide terrace and walkoff

p8 traverse pitch seen from its 2 pitons belay end. Great exposures and even greater views looking South

p7 looking at the right moving open book after the very short traverse left.

Rappel station on top of the side pinnacle seen looking down and south east from p7.

almost at the end of the chossy ravine gully approach

The final traverse below the summit. Wild exposure here

After pulling the second crux of the route. IMO this roof was the hardest move on the route

p5 top very large terrace with incredible views looking North East

p6 seen from the very large terrace (going up the side pinnacle to the rappel station)

p1: the first 15m=50ft is just a s scramble, the actual climb is the following 25m=80ft up the crack

p7 start. a zigzagging pitch... short left traverse then right on open book (not visible) and left on overhang

the traverse crux of the whole route, seen from the start of p2.

p8 is a long easy but very exposed traverse

p3 yellow overhang near the start of the pitch

p9 start. It is easy to go right around the black cave. Also visible is p10 open book

p4 start on slabs close to the chimney that moves from right to left (and eventually entering it)

Great views looking North East from the wide terrace on top of p10 (the start of the walkoff to the peak)

loking up from the start of the p4 chimney that moves from right to left. P5 starts on the large yellow cove just below where the chimney closes

the last 40m=120ft of the walkoff to the peak can be done unroped on a hiking trail

p5 starts with a crux and exposed exit left out of the chimney right above the large yellow cove

TOPO map including approach and walkoff

p5 near the end of the very easy but supernice arete. And even nicer October views behind looking South.
