Following the P7 squeeze

Looking up to the large triangular roof on P10 on the Beckey Route, Bastille Buttress.

Took us a while before we found the right descent gully, we definitely went up 3 wrong towers before finding the "green one" as described in the book. Look for a big boulder on top. Seemed further than 1/4 mile

Leading through roofs on pitch 3

Classic bolt ladder in a Spectacular setting!!!!
