Chris on the 2nd pitch, just below start of the crux chimney. We took the left-most right-facing dihedral system above for our 4th pitch to Broadway.

Christa has just crossed manky ice and is approaching the difficult move onto rock ledge about ten feet above her.

As always, check the quality of the anchors before using. <br>

Double ropes can get you off and to Lamb's Slide quickly.<br>

The pitch below the chockstone. This was the only ice we encountered - dinner plate ice and shallow. There is another rap anchor body height of the climber on the right.

Nate Erickson leading above the chimney. On April 29, 2012, there was barely any ice on the route.

Christa traverses snow on fifth pitch to rap anchor.

The ice section above the chimney. The obvious line to ascend is the ice (not well-visualized here) on the L-angling ramp. In the lower right, you can see the rap above the chockstone.

Myself leading the mixed crux of the route with no ice.

Looking back on a great route. 12.8.02.

The first pitch: after the step from the snowfield. Sloped rock, few pick holds, super fun.

Just before we bailed on P1, full conditions Oct 24th, 09'. The spindrift above my head would not let up!
