Final obstacle on P2.

Ruper start

Upper Ramp rappel route. To descend from Upper Ruper, do the 100' Chockstone Chimney rappel to the Upper Ramp. From the base of Chockstone Chimney, scramble up a short slab and down the other side to a bolted rappel anchor by the tree shown in the photo. <em>Note: tree is now gone.</em> A 60' rappel takes you to a stance with bolts and chains. An 80' rappel takes you to Vertigo Ledge. Follow Vertigo Ledge uphill until it meets the West Face trail.

Things get a bit exposed on P3.

The beginning of the upper wall, prime setting, prime climbing.

Approaching Ruper traverse

The 6th pitch traverse showing sufficient protection opportunities. While the Ruper Traverse on P3 may feel more exposed, I personally find this traverse to be a bit more spicy on account of the poor rock quality. However, more than enough protection opportunities exist; just look around!

Easy climbing.

On P4...very sketchy and very nervous.
