The tree in the top right of this photo marks the start of the first pitch.

Looking down the final corner of Munginella.

There is a 2bolt anchor at the top of the climb on a nice large that allows you to see the whole route from the Top.

Last pitch from the top (the angle makes this look much steeper than it actually is)

Climbing - I mean, following on - the last pitch of Munginella was truly satisfying. Of course I'll never know how Matt leads them all so non-chalantly.

Awkward belay.

We got off route in the section where it tells you not to go. Thankfully someone had put bolts there and we followed the arete until we could traverse left back to the climb.

View from the top - Great climb!

Kelly on lead with traffic ahead - P2.

Pitch 1.

Little belay ledge just past roof section. Single rusty piton and some small cams BD ~0.4-0.75 make a decent anchor here. Short final pitch above.

Last pitch
