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.

Just before the bolts stop and the run out begins on some awesome alligator plates.

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

Ewephoria was coated with ice and snow too...

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.

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 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.

This Pitch is an awesome way to finish this route!
