Climbers on Pitch 3 (Red Dihedral)

Scary, nasty descent. Best to be done while there is still daylight.

Looking down from the belay at the base of the Shattered Pillar. The orange speck on the right side in the bushes is our tent!

Good water source in the center of the photo at the end of the large snowfield where the talus touches the bedrock.

The hand crack on pitch 5 perfectly splits an otherwise clean, smooth face. Heaven!

Two Towers

the only description I can come up with is "How to f@ck up someone's experience on a crux pitch". A dickish move IMHO, cosidering that after 4 pitch there are many ways to pass a slower party.

Looking up the route from the base, third class ledges directly above and first belay just offscreen to the left.

Getting ready to take on the penultimate pitch.

Tight, even for a skinny lad like me!

Climbing on the Red Dihedral. The namesake dihedral looms above.

SPLITTER

At 6'5" I struggled *hard* to get through the "birth canal" exit to the summit. September 2007.

The summit smirk

If you start just before the 5.8 bulge, a 70m will get you all the way to the dihedral.

Great climbing and great scenery on the Red Dihedral.

Looking down from middle of the eponymous pitch

Time to be born again! Only have to get through this hole to get to the top!

Sending the memorable crux!

Last linked pitch to the summit, just above the Class 3 walk from the notch.
