Rapping from first rap station a top of route. This leaves one at a v-thread in middle of first pitch. We used 70m to get here with rope left over. Not sure a 60m would be a good choice. One might consider moving rap to the second tree rap further along top of cliff.

Looking down the headwall of ice 50ft. from the top. Yee-Ha. Totally Awesome!

A lot different than the last two years. Decent condition now, but it won't be up for much longer. At least it was steep.

Lean and Mean condition 3-08

Jack only needs one crampon for this bit.

Looking back at my belayer on the 2nd pitch, upward traverse section. Glassy ice. Awesome.
