Anchor on the top of of P3. After building my anchor, I soon realized that the top 15 feet of rock is just sitting there, with a hole underneath.

Torie peeping the traverse across the front of the eaglet... not part of the West chimney route but a fun variation finish...

the line of The West Chimney route...

On top at dusk.

Hike Greenleaf Trail for ~10 minutes. The steep path on the left will take you up to the Eaglet! The rocky path on the right is the continuation of Greenleaf Trail. There's often a cairn on the boulders between these two paths to mark the left trail.

Can confirm at least 8 can fit on the summit.

Fully socked in, made the summit experience interesting

Looking down from the summit, rap to the first belay if using a single 60m

One of the coolest (and smallest) summits I'v experienced

7 fit on the summit if you're willing to try

Climber on the Eaglet.
