(START of Route) Mike belays P1 as Larry leads

Looking down the varnished corner of pitch 4. The belay at the top of pitch 4 is on the left. This picture was taken from near the beginning of the fifth pitch, above the large overhang.

(Route Photo) WHY is this man smiling? As the wise, old climber he is: he's managed to belay, not lead, the crux pitch. (Note the all-nut trad belay.) [FA-er Larry DiAngelo on later ascent at the MtnPrjct Administrators get-together in Red Rocks]

The pitch 4 corner is the varnished dihedral on the right side of this alcove.

Jessica heading left at the start of P5. Excellent views!

great exposure - beautiful views!

Top of pitch 6 slab. So cool!

Second rappel station. First rap was 100' second about 200', third was about 140' fourth was about 200' and Fifth was about 200'. All stations were bolted similar to this pic and easy to find. Thank you to whoever bolted this. Made the descent a breeze.

Pitch 6 hanging belay on right side of slab about 195'. Basically the only great gear on the pitch.

Hanging belay at the top of P6. There is a huge chicken head and a nice vertical crack for micros on the right side of the face about 60 ft. below hand crack on P7.

Anchor at the top of P4, stepping right after the final crux move. Guidebook says to continue up another 20 ft or so of this arete and build the anchor level with the big roof but that stance looked less than inspiring. This allowed more room for 2 people

Gear anchor on P2. This was on the face above the big ledge.
