Love this route!

Looking down at our packs from the approach ramp that leads to the base of the climb and the massive glue in eye bolt.

Rappelling back to the base of the climb.

That butte is its own topo map! Astounding view from Led by Sheep.

Now I know where they got the name from. Pic was taken on the 2nd rap.

The view back towards the road from the base of the climb.

Looking down the rte. People at the first belay. Was waiting for the big tumble but he had no problems. Amazing sight.

Approach as you come through the saddle.

This is shot from the top of the route and shows roughly the path that hikers should take to get to the base. The start is actually a bit to the left of where I drew the circle. Sorry for the terrible handwriting too...

View from the approach

From the approach. The climb is actually around the right skyline.

The final moves of P4.

Two climbers on their approach to Led By Sheep.

Looking down from the top of the pitch 1 belay. I missed the two initial bolts that are located up and right of the eye bolt.

At the top found a notebook with handwritten names & messages from climbers that made it there before, a polaroid picture, and this cool rock.

The base of the climb and a good picture of the massive glued in eye bolt.

Couple from Italy starting their first rap of the top of the climb. Top of Pitch 4 anchors.

Glued in Piton.

Looking up at Pitch 2.

Looking up at pitch 4. The final technical pitch.

Looking up from the top of the 4th pitch. This shows the 3rd class scramble to the top. Its worth going to the top for the 360 views. take care to not kick down the loose rocks.

Led by Sheep is on the other side of the Butte

Typical sandy white slab climbing

The initial sandy approach gully coming from the road. On the return we stayed higher up on the formation and stayed out of the sand.

Me leading one of the pitches. The bolts are run out but the climbing is really easy.

Aries Butte

All the belay stations were as bomber as the one pictured!!

Climber at the top of the first pitch.

Looking down from the top of either pitch 2 or 3.

My wife at the start of Led by Sheep

View from the top. Worth the 3rd class scramble from the top of Pitch 4.

Me loving the route!! Super fun.
