30 Aug 09 from the top of the West Ridge.

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

Newer "Non-hubar" photo!

The perfect way to cap off the climb.

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.

Mike Belcher airs it out on the Maiden rappel!

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

The initial face of the West ridge.

Nice rap.

The Maiden from the Southwest.

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>

Approaching the Walton Traverse crux.

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.

Photo I took of myself while on rappel. What a cool rock!
