Looking up MacDonald-Bartlett start from below. Well protected with micro-cams at the small roof (crux).

Tracy at the summit rappel station on the North side.
Tracy gearing up to lead P2 up a chimney.
Squeezing through between the South Face and a monolith.
South Face.
The classic last pitch on Zowie...
Second rap. To find this after the first rap (north option) walk northeast along a grassy ledge and look left for the hangers.
Awesome couch belay option for south face finishes.
Upper half of finger crack finish on the south face.
The start of the P3 and the long dihedral. We broke this into two pitches.
The 5.8+ thin crack variation for the final pitch. Be careful about the block in the photo - it vibrates.
Tracy leading P1.
From the top of the chimney pitch (2 or 3) I take the leftmost corner and keep going up and left, on the south face. You'll get some fun 7/8 open books and this hero 7 corner that ends right at the belay for the finger crack s. face finish. Serendipitous.
