Army Route's 3 pitches.

Great topo of the route. Shows the entire army route read articles for belay stands and anchors

The current condition of the P1 anchors.

My sister's first multi-pitch and second climb ever! She's diggin' it!

James halfway up. Free solo.

You can quickly scramble straight up to the start from the road. The start is in the dihedral, just below an obvious roof, right next to a little tree.

Past halfway up the first pitch, the route continues another 10m following the crack up and slightly to the right.

Beta line for the downclimb.

P2 belay during the eclipse.

James Scott free solos the Army Route/Pinnical. He's up there.

From the north, looking south down at the road, Graduation Boulder, Post-Graduation Boulder, and the Pinnacle.

A look at P1 from below.

Leading the 3rd (final) pitch. It's actually way more solid than it looks.<br>

Pitch one on lead.

Shot from the airy 2nd pitch belay station (if you do this in 3 pitches). Ken's showing the fun that can be had on a 5.3 (by far the easiest pitch of the climb) with some exposure (relative).

Lou starting pitch two from the roomy belay ledge. The choss on this pitch would later make him rather unhappy.

Butt shot on The Army Route (I think). :-)

Following the first pitch.

First pitch of The Army Route

The right angle and framing can make the descent look way scarier than it is ;-)

1st pitch clipping the only bolt remaining on that pitch.

Looking down the route from the top.

Peter Mead partway up the Army Route.

I've seen worse. I think this may have been the start of P3? I think we may have been off route at this point. Not sure.
