After four days of climbing and enduring a stormy night in the notch, our reward: The Summit.

Notice the rope configuration: the climber is on a rope that is anchored to a tree and clipped to a crucial bolt (clipped while on rappel). Rope then runs through the spire tip anchors and up to another tree. By untying the knot at the tree on the upper line, the ropes can be pulled through and retrieved.

Jugging up to Salathe Ledge trailing the rap line for setting up the tyrolean traverse.

This is the beginning of pitch #2, leaving Salathe Ledge, and launching into the crux. A hook here is not vital, but sure makes you feel better given the exposure.
