This is what the start looks like.

Only bolt on the route. Looks really solid and at a critical place where your start traversing right up the ramp.

First piton at the start. I backed it up with a cam just above.

Coming in to the first belay.

P1 of the Classic Route. It was very cold that day. Burrr!

On the amazing, level summit!

About to start the fun climbing!

Mark finishing the last bit of the second pitch.

You can also start the route this way instead of the flake chimney. No protection except a #4 at the big crack and a horizontal crack before the bolt. But fun positive jug haul.

Rappelling

2nd Piton. They are old but still look solid. You can back them up with some other gear. Use slings on all of them.

After clipping the 4th piton looking back down the ramp. Great exposure:)

Belay point looking up and left to where you go over the lip. Nice place to protect this are with long slings.
