West end crag and route of old gully trail.

Start of climbers trail. After the steep part of the trail and where it flattens out, you get a good view of the cliff. An older trail will veer left while the main trail goes right. This is the climbers trail that goes to the base of the AMC Route cliff, marked with red and/or yellow marks.

Closeup of the AMC Route (green) and the AMC Route Variation (yellow). [You can see the old "Chimney Trail" going up the gully on the far left of the slab. 20yrs ago this was down-climbable or "rappel-able" as an easy return from the summit area. RHall Admin.]

The second Pitch of something we did. Bolted anchor to bolted anchor. Excellent 2 pitches

Arete to the right after going through "Fat Mans Misery". Looks like easily protected face moves. Anyone have any FA information?

This is the top part of the 2nd pitch of (I think) the AMC route. This corner is great fun.

Start of Loop Tr. It's well marked and has a parking area.

Map of area. Sorry for bad quality. It's a picture from the map at the trail head.

The view approaching the AMC Route area of Tumbledown. Note the scarring in the center of the face from the massive rockfall.
