Obligatory summit shot.

Blazing sunrise just above the Golden Staircase. It's worth getting up early! Shortened single 60m Simuling party of three worked great. Lay rope far climbers' right on the slung rock rappel and you have enough.

Myself leading the Friction Pitch, very happy to finally be in the sunshine! August 13, 2009

The final pitch above the Petzoldt Lieback, Warren is climbing the "small 10' tower". The summit is only a few minutes away.

Rappeling from above Petzoldt's lieback pitch. Below lies an alternate 60m rappel which leaves you below all the difficulties on the Owen Spalding. Note the fresh snow (September).

A party climbing the Petzoldt Ridge, as viwed from the Exum. This group was led by Doug Coombs who we later met near the summit and talked to on the descent. Photo taken September 2003.

A classic climb on perfect rock

a topo, of sorts

Last bit of scrambling to the summit...almost there!

Checking the view...catching my breathe

Snowfield just before the last scramble at the top.
