Topo with some retreat options marked.

Totally bomber pro from one of my early forays onto Squaw Peak.

Squaw Peak from Y Mountain

Nice shade right before the 12th pitch

Me topping out at the summit. Too stoked to get my shoes off.

Cool view of pitches 3-8

Flapper 1 of 5 on this climb. Bring your A-game, bring motivation, bring ibuprofen, and BRING TAPE!

*Note that it can also come in handy if your old shoes randomly decide to rip in half with 12 pitches to go...

Pitches 3-8. Couple of parties are visible at the top of pitch 6.

Near the top - Pitch 22 of Squawstruck

The "crux" pitch 14 linked into 15 (although I felt a couple other pitches were perhaps more technical than pitch 14).

A view of Guy at the cave with another group headed up pitch 12.

Tristan and Thomas on pitch 16, taken from the trail.

My favorite pitch in the first 8: Frosted Flakes. Just look at how white the limestone is! And it is very solid with great holds and a fantastic roof with a perfect jug for pulling.

Map of the descent trail.

Tristan after the leap of faith headed up pitch 2.

Tristan moving up to the rest before the hard crux of pitch 14. This was the high point on our FA attempt.

The cave/mine at the base of pitch 12 is a great place to have lunch in the shade.

Thomas Gappmayer at the belay on top of pitch 22. Success!

There are several different walls on this route. Even though we studied the topo beforehand, we get lost looking for the summit wall at night (it's much further to the right than I thought). Bring headlamps and be ready to climb at night!

Can't miss the diving board atop pitch 8, make sure to wave to the hikers

Beginning the last few pitches on the uppermost headwall.

Just after the tough steep finger crack start to 13. One of the cruxes of the whole route is just above him.
