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.

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

The traverse pitch.

Pulling the roof on the 3rd pitch soooo good.

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.

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

Varied and clean - pitch 2 - 2015.

2nd pitch is killer!

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

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!
