More knob climbing on pitch 4.

Pitch 5 - the climbing steepens here.

Lower Apron- Somewhere around pitch 1.

The last 2 miles of the road is driveable by a Subaru, but these blowdowns (July 2016) stopped us 1.5 miles from the end.

From belay station of first pitch. Rocky area highlighted shows the part of the approach after coming out of the brushy tunnel.

Janet on top. Climbing the 10th pitch (5.6) is worth the satisfaction of getting to the top of the buttress and the unique view.

Approach beta: the rocky brush tunnel just right of the waterfalls.

On the approach looking up at the Buttress from the waterfall before heading up into the brushy tunnel (not shown on the right)
