Approaching the anchors of the third pitch.

This pic is on the second pitch of the FA. The line goes straight up to the small shadowed dihedral above and slightly to the right of me. The first two pitches are 5.6-7. Third is an awkward 5.9 zig zag to a belay under the roof at the base of the dihedral. Don't forget you are at nearly 12,000 feet and will get tired fast if you haven't aclimatized.
This is further up and you can see the entrance into the dihedral. I think I am at the end of 50+m second pitch. The 3rd pitch is only 50 or 60 feet to set up for the dihedral. (FYI - These photo with the video camera makes every thing look smaller.)

Shows the anchors and basic layout of the route.
