Descent for Triassic. Do not go down the right gully after summiting Whiskey Peak.

Tri-sands starts on the right side of the photo. The 2nd pitch crack can just be seen. Climbers are atop 2nd pitch and another is rappelling from 3rd.

Gem Line

Looking up at pitch 6 from where we chose to belay. We followed the arete to the summit. 200ish feet from here. The drag was heinous.

Amazing crack climbing at it's best

Robert Carrere leading the start of the amazing last pitch. The graffiti is unnecessary ☹️
