#2 Camalots are almost useless on P2. Bring at least 3 #3.5 Friends or #3 Camalots.

Curious critter looking for a handout at the Black Wall.

Came across this guy at Summit Lake.

Gordon firing P1 crux.

The start and the route.

Bert is following the wild P4 roof traverse....

Rap in from this station (Petzl and Mammut hangers), the rightmost station as viewed from the top.

Kat A. dances through the crux of the route, following it 1 week after flashing it.

Amazing exposure at the top of the 4th pitch belay!

Clean Dan Grandusky leading the crux section of Good Evans.

P2 from the second belay ledge. You can see the leader for the whole pitch if you peek behind the huge flake in the foreground.

P4 10d crux section right after leaving belay, short but exciting pitch

Pitch 5 (go left from the belay).

Dill on the second to last pitch

Starting up pitch 2.

Kat A. follows the crux first pitch of Good Evans (10+/11-).

A #5 cam is nice to have for the corner below the roof on pitch 3. Without it, you run it out for about 15 feet, but it's relatively moderate terrain so many parties do not bring a #5.

A good look at pitch two's splitter crack. The Trout topo indicates there is a section of 5.9+ at the top of the pitch, and I believe this to be true. Strenuous, fun, wide-hands crack climbing.

Pitch 4.

Aaron heading up P2 off the belay.

Glenn Thompson on toprope, just below the crux of the first pitch on Good Evans.

Looking up at the start of P3.

Climber following the crux on pitch 1.

The start of pitch 3.

Aaron leading P4, at the final roof.

Second half of pitch 3.

Tom Jensen completing P1 crux, a great pitch.

This photo is taken looking straight up from the belay at the top of pitch 4. There are some fixed pins in the crack above. Going this way is harder (10+??). Go left if you want an easy last pitch.

Looking down from top of our P2, just below first roof.

A good place to hang packs out of reach of the marmots (the leftmost anchor, viewed from the top).

Pitch 5.
