Route and Approach Overlay

(Damn that focal point!) Bill Geist making the moves through the crux on the second pitch. Great crack through a smooth, beautiful face. April 7, 2007.

Looking down from pitch 9

Overlay: Approach to Inti Watana

Walk past this tree up the narrower gully, to the final chockstone just before the route.

Approximate overlay of Inti Watana to Resolution Arete

The upper pitches of this route are stellar. Steep but super positive face climbing on awesome rock. April 7th, 2007.

Looking down from the top belay. The entire route is visible below.

Pulling the roof at the start of Pitch 9. Super fun and exposed!

Sarah employing forbidden sport climbing techniques

Exposureeeee

Approach: Narrow gully at base of Aeolian Wall.

Frankie on the final few moves of pitch 7.

Descent: Descend gully to descender's right of White Rot Gully. A rappel is at the base.

Approach: Just after White Rot Gully. Keep going up.

Best belayer ever

Descent: Rappel slings at bottom of descent gully (to descender's right of White Rot Gully)

P2 of Inti Watana!

for the linkup to res arete: climb the left-leaning 5.4 crack up to the base of the big boulder with an offwidth crack, but drop below it and go through here. full info @ https://miaclimbs.com/2025/03/21/mt-wilson-via-inti-watana-and-resolution-arete

Summit of Mount Wilson via Inti Watana into Resolution Arete. Pure bliss!
