Dirk Tyler at the bulge on the 1st pitch of Lonely Vigil.

The first rappel if rapping with a single cord.

[EDIT: someone commented this anchor has been updated!] If you rap from just before the summit down toward Dolomite Tower (per Greg Gavin's rap beta), this is the current anchor that you arrive at... then rap from this at the big ledge 35 m to the ground

Going up the Stem Box. Watch the butt cramp!

The top moves really aren't that bad... don't let it keep you from doing a fantastic route!<br>

happy to be done with the downclimb

Annie on top. The pro you do have on this pitch is somewhat worthless. Going up is easy, coming down a bit trickier.
