Halfway up the 5th/cave pitch,per Handren book.

Find yourself in the dark, unsure of which rap stations were the correct one for fear of not having a double-rope rappel? So did we. We got down with a single 70m and ~6 raps. To this day, unsure if we rapped Choc. flakes. View of the 2ndor3rd to last rap

Near the top of the cave pitch. Amazing pitch!

The start of the upper cave pitch.

Should've brought some lube - going for the crux squeeze on pitch 1 of Community Pillar. At 6'7" & 220 lbs, this took some time...

At the very top of the upper cave, just before the hidden exit.

Climbing the corner on the variation start to the right of the standard route.

Looking up the wide crack to the belay at its top. After the first 30 feet or so, the crack is too wide for ordinary gear, but occasional opportunities arise for small stuff.
