This Pitch is an awesome way to finish this route!

From the belay it is hard to see that there is a good section of slab at the top. Where I am is the starting of the slab.

The AZ sunsets never get old. Even if you still have a pitch to go with no headlamp!

Ewe wouldn't think ewe would run into a solo climber at the third belay of Ewephoria. After giving us some beta, she allowed us to pass through.

Climbers on Ewephoria pitch 4, I believe. Don't you want to climb that? Of course you do. (1/8/2023)

Finishing P4

Ashley right below a bit of piece of mind Phillip left for her. Pitch 3 runout.

The last pitch of Ewephoria using the Too Tough to Die variation. It is steep and airy, but is consistent with other 5.8 sections in Cochise.

Beginning the 3rd pitch. Three climbers using twin ropes.

This is from the summit register describing the standard chimney finish of Ewephoria. Pretty funny. We didn't get to experience it, pretty happy about that.

Looking into the chimney where you find final pitch of Ewephoria, via the 5.7+ chimney exit.

Sending Smiles!!!

Start of pitch 4

The chimney isn't that bad if you want to skip the TTTD finish. There are bolts on the left side that avoid most of the chimney (about 5.8) - we then stepped into the very top part of the chimney which takes you to the summit quickly.

Belay station at the top of pitch 1.

Looking up at the water stain slab climbing on pitch 3.

The water streak slab is really fun and well bolted. It was a nice mix in from the face climbing immediately before and after.
