The Swift. You can easily see the 2nd belay ledge. The rock feature where it looks like a reverse "D".

Heading up the 2nd pitch.

The first pitch.

Emma on the 3rd pitch, her first multi-pitch trad lead!

Pitch 2

Topo with belay stations

The "Hard Way" This is Sarah bringing up the rear of a party of 4 of us on the "hard cracks" for pitch 3.

For 5.7, get to the steep crack that starts after some face climbing slightly right of center, not the continuous crack leading into a slight overhang on the left (pitch 3). Some fun hand jams and exposure.

Topped out!

This is the view of Lost Horse Wall from the second belay. Beautiful area!

Tight quarters. 1st pitch belay ledge.

Here is a picture of Lori at the end of the first pitch.

Roxi just after the crux on the 3rd pitch. Set up a belay in a notch, to keep easy communication. It's a jaunt to the top from here.

Me climbing up onto the 2nd pitch where the boys were hanging out.

Bene on the crux of The Swift. This is where the route goes right onto the eret.

On top of The Swift and completely staged picture. Great climb!

Neale's self portrait of his foot just after stepping onto the arete. Great exposure here!

This is were we started (you can see Dan a the bottom of the photo looking up at the route). (photo by my friend Lori)
