Looking west upcreek in SE Fork of American Creek; Peak 4860 Ft in background. There are numerous rock formations including The Ravens, Chessman, and Stegosaur that can be accessed on north aspect of peak.

300 Foot Wall located across from the NE Fork of American Creek and the 900 ft Main Wall.

900 ft Main Wall with its' satellite buttresses.

Jonathan Koenig on the stellar 2nd pitch of Homewrecker (July, 2020). The first two pitches offer wonderful climbing on unique features.

The base of Giradelli, starts up the prominent left facing dihedral to small roof feature.

Less than ideal conditions for climbing out on Mt Prindle

The Ravens

Camping under the main wall, Fall 2007. A bit damp and we were a little worried after spooking a grizzly on the hike in(!) Last chance to get in there before Pierre went back to Switzerland. Rest weekend tapering for the Fairbanks Equinox Marathon

Dan leading Short Stack, nice but run-out 5.8 on skittery granite on SE Buttress

Klondike, 2nd pitch. Head up then left at this point to gain the X routes.

Around back of the main wall. Razorback is the central boulder. Klondike (5.10 bolts+cams) runs up just left of center of the triangular wall behind Pierre.

Standing at the base of Ghiradelli.

The western flank of the Main Wall. The Gash begins above and to the left of the climber.

aaaand here comes the rain (and hail, and thunder). At the base of the main wall

Mount Prindle climbing area, after ascending Zephyr Creek drainage and traversing around to the north shoulder of Peak 4100 Ft. SE Fork and American Creek fork proper are in the foreground.
