Fixed ropes at base of route. If you have a single 60, you can avoid a final rappel by downclimbing the fixed lines.

3rd pitch

First pitch

Middle of the approach trail goes through this boulder field. Might not look obvious from this angle but the trail was quite obvious. If you pass a mangled, rusted pile of metal on your left then you are going the correct way.

Just a bunch of stupid goofs

Awesome position on Pitch 2.
