Amazing view from the top!

Changing the Stripes, descending

Virgil Ash on the first ascent

Our rope coming down the Bayer line. Our 80m with both strands down barely reached the bottom on a single pitch. There are chains about 2/3 of the way down the route if you want to multipitch it.

Changing the Stripes, pitch 1

Nicole rapping off Bayer with a 70m rope. No snagged ropes and a single rappel. Much better than rapping off Changing the Stripes

Megan rappelling from the summit

Super happy to reach the top of this great multi-pitch

Nicole following the last pitch. This is the last vertical section of the route. It's a 4th class scramble for about 50 ft to the top out after this

Kev topping out

Pic taken from the top of the 2nd pitch. Red line shows an approximate approach from up the road. Lots of bushwhacking and loose rock underfoot, wouldn't recommend. Try the trail from Heart Rock, then only a little bushwhacking (shown in blue)
