Very near the end of pitch one, the flake temporarily merges into the wall leaving a fairly large gap that must be crossed. Angela and I both had the same thoughts when we encountered this gap: "Herb and Jan, you're fricken' crazy!!!" I thought this to be the highlight of pitch one!

Taking the classic route

Tyson Arp pushing through the first intimidating moves on the second pitch--hoping the Kidney Stone stays attached to the wall for at least a few more minutes!

Setting up for the final stem move on P1. Josh (aka Wiener) just HAD to take the #6... and for what it's worth... PLACED IT on EVERY PITCH!

Tyson Arp mantelling into the opening of the chimney on pitch three. Definitely consider removing ropes/backpacks from your back before attempting this one.

Will Becker heading up the first pitch of the Conn Diagonal. The route looks much more inviting from the base than it does from across the way on Old People's Dome!

Climber on the left is at the first belay station. The second pitch goes to the large left facing dihedral. The 3rd pitch picks one of the 2 visible chimneys.

The last one up on the Conn Diagonal, notice that I get to haul the gear.
