Tracy at the summit rappel station on the North side.

The classic last pitch on Zowie...
Squeezing through between the South Face and a monolith.
South Face.
Mike climbing the last moves up to the summit....
The dreaded combination of stuck rappel ropes and thunderstorms. Had to fix one rope and ascend the other. Pull down your knot below the lip of your rappel to prevent this problem.
Awesome couch belay option for south face finishes.
Second rap. To find this after the first rap (north option) walk northeast along a grassy ledge and look left for the hangers.
The start of the P3 and the long dihedral. We broke this into two pitches.
Upper half of finger crack finish on the south face.
The climber is on the classic face finish. To the right, a rope is set up for the rappel. Behind this rappel rope there are two cracks. These are the two "offwidth" finishes that have been described.
