BOMBER. Anchors for P2.

Nearing the end of first pitch.

Me leading the 3rd pitch just off the 2nd belay. There is a good ledge with two decent pockets to clip the bolt from before pulling the bulge on the "hollow brown sugar hold".

Look for me. I'm rapping the last pitch

From White Rim looking at the route

A look up the beginning of the 3rd pitch. The old star bolt is on the left, with a new bomber bolt just to its right. This bulge is quite steep, and the crux hollow hold is that thin crack to the left of the bolts.

A look down into the gully with the fixed rope. It is a 20 foot downclimb, then a 20 foot rappel off two bolts. If you are in a gully that is higher/nastier than this, keep looking.

In the middle of this photo is the semi-big cairn marking the descent gully with the fixed rope , with the top of SR at the far left. The gully is CLOSE to the edge of the rim where you can see SR.

P1 - up the dihedral, exit right.

Summit and so happy

Jim Ghiselli (left) and myself. Good times.

Stepping away from the belay on pitch 2. Very interesting and sustained.
