Looking back at the roomy belay ledge after starting pitch 2 by stepping across the void to clip the piton.
Aaron rapping off South Tower as we raced to get Jay back to his rehearsal dinner. Both Jay and I were in a bit of hot water at that point. Eye tooth in the background.

Top section of South Tower Conn route from West Gruesome. You can belay from the horn, or the usual route is to go left to the summit chimney.
