Dow lassoing the horn at the start of Pitch 2.
The hand crack is completely covered in peregrine poop right after the horn, as of Sept 31st 2017. It smells worse than cat piss, so bring your nasty clothes and maybe a brush! Might not advise being the first party up it when the route opens seasonally.

Looking up Pitch 2. Lasso the horn for protection.

The hardest part of the route - start of the 2nd pitch from the Main Ledge
Peregrine feather en route. This route is closed in the summer for peregrine nesting.
Looking up Pitch 1, which goes leftward up the dikes and ends at a nice ledge.
Pitches 4 & 5 to the top....ug....but they go quick....
Pitch 3. Probably the best pitch on the route.
