Last pitch before summit: you made it

This is where things get interesting. Tom past the easy part of The Narrows.

Midway up the Narrows. A view too unique and beautiful to pass without snapping a shot.

Recent rockfall took out a few trees near the base of the approach ramp. The ramp has bit of rocks & sand on it.

P8 (slab!)

Looking up on p1. We were able to scramble higher up right than this so look out for this corner and the characteristic choke stone.

The slab pitch before entering the Great Chimney.

My partner Stuart on the face-climbing pitch, much too late in the day to complete our planned one-day ascent.

Negotiating the Wilson Overhang. Climbing is easier farther out in the overhang, but gear sucks you in where the climbing can be desperate.<br>

Yosemite Falls from the Sentinel

The famous Wilson Overhang pitch.

From 2011. I still remember thinking I wasn't going to fit through.

Unfortunately, this pitch is simply known as "the pitch after the Wilson Overhang." You'll definitely want to go for the flake/face climbing to the right of the squeeze!
