North Face pitches.

The perfect way to cap off the climb.

How I learned to love the fog?<br>

Newer "Non-hubar" photo!

We rapped down to the ground with two 60 meter ropes. Views were beautiful!

Nice rap.

Perfect Feb. day.

An alternate for the pitch 3 "crux" that has some fun moves and protects pretty well. Based on the chalk marks this appears to be a often used alternate. If it wasn't for the plentiful jugs, this would be more challenging. I'd call it 5.6.

View of the 5.6 route. The "P"s are fixed pitons that can be used to back up the thrid pitch. Also, the X is a bolt; however, it is really old and sketchy.

Cool old Holubar cover page.

The terrifying view when you come over the first headwall on the route.

An alternate "crux" move on the 3rd pitch that is fun climbing and protects really well considering the route. Great jugs abound making it easier than it looks. Not much harder than 5.6.

The hand traverse.

Beginning the airy crux just before the pine tree belay. I'm skeptical this maneuver is "5.6" <br>

Rappel nirvana!!!

Mark is just about to start the crux moves in the pitch after the crow's nest. The piton is about 3 feet up and right of his right hand. The hold his right hand is on is the key to the easiest way to climb this section (for me).

Nice to have an extra mm of rope diameter for the rap.

Another exposed traverse.
