The crux of the third pitch. Pulling the roof is hard but good holds. Thin above the roof, stay a little right. Third pitch is easier overall than the first. Probably about M8. Photo: Jon Jugenheimer

Stemming off the ice dagger on the first pitch. I think I clipped about 12 bolts before being high enough on the wall to get good sticks and feet on the dagger. Bolt 13 seemed about 20 ft away, but I was able to get a good screw about halfway to it.
