Kat A. finishes out on the less perfect P4 of Cary Granite. It is a good 5.10 pitch but lacks the steep and clean, perfect stone characteristic of the pitches below.

The traverse pitch.

Clean Dan Grandusky following the crux pitch of Cary Granite on the first ascent in 1990.

Pulling the roof on the 3rd pitch soooo good.

Rob Kepley sets up for the burly roof crux.

Varied and clean - pitch 2 - 2015.

Brent Butler moving into the thin hand crack on P3 of Cary Granite.

Another look at the hand crack after the 5.11 roof on p3.

P2 of Cary Granite is broken into 3 sections, the bottom 1/3rd being obtuse stemming, the middle layback and gaston (here), and the undercling roof at the top.

2nd pitch is killer!

Kat A. transitioning from under-cling to knee-bar under the roof on P2. An interesting solution....

Kat A. starts the battle with the P2 roof on Cary Granite, a harbinger of things to come....

Kat A. emerges from under the roof on P2, ready to battle the crux of that pitch (5.11- again).

Looking up at the fine belay ledge at the top of pitch 2. The 11c face traverse starts right off this ledge, goes to the crack, and then more 5.11 thru the roof.

Kat A. starts up following the long P2 (5.11-) of Cary Grantie. This pitch is deceptively good!

The nice belay at the end of the crux pitch. Look left around the arete.

The crux of P1 of Cary Granite (shared with Good Evans) is thin for hands and feet but is well-protected and solid rock.
