The start of the route. I found it not all that obvious. It's the first big wet black streak. Only a few moves of 5th class.

This is an undoctored photo of Lone Eagle from Mirror Lake. The original slide looks just like this, except for one important change.
Money pitch - pitch 10.

Crack o' dawn start at Monarch Lake. I bumped into this fellow. Lucky there was a boulder to climb, or he would have tried to kill me. He made angry noises and stomped his hooves. I ran up to Crater Lake, but the rain forced me down. Still a nice run. 3 hours car to car.
A climber about half way up the crux pitch on Sep. 19, 2010. The (barely visible) belayer at the top of the pitch is above the left exit variation. The right exit seemed to be easier.

Starting up the huge ramp. Pitch 2-5 scramblefest.
Solo Flight descent route from summit of climb. This is very obvious and easy. There are two gully options to climb at the end of the ledges - we chose the red option, but the yellow one is probably better. We remained roped until the top of the gully, although it wasn't really necessary.
