The whole route, the line isn't super accurate but gives an idea of how the route moves.

Tom Hornbein again.

Upper headwall with new single variation pitch (yellow). Pitch line is approximate. Red arrow shows another Gunks like roof. This was my favorite pitch of the entire climb. Great variation, seemed to be almost 60m. Comparing it to other pitches on the route, it could be sustained 5.9 with a 5.10 move or two. <br>

CJ nearing the top of the route, pitch 16 maybe. The headwall section is steeper than the rest of the route and quite fun.

OMG, I winz!!!

The beginning of P13, view from the bottom of the apron.

Mount Royal from the parking lot. The headwall is filled with fun variations!

There are raspberry bushes on this route in the talus field and other spots, yum!

The old man popping up over the headwall 5.9? Variation. Definitely go this way. It's a great pitch.

We weren't the only ones who needed a snack at the top :)

The summit view ain't so bad.

Daniel about to led the 5.10 variation of P15. This is the last picture we captured before we had to bail from top of P16 due to afternoon thunderstorm. It was long, arduous, WET descent with multiple rappels. We'll have to come back and do it again to finish the last few pitches.

The scree field was gorgeous.

Taking the old man up Royal Flush. Get an early start to avoid getting stuck behind slow groups!

Having a blast!

Beth leading the the pitch after the short traverse from the slab on the upper head wall. For us, this was the second to last pitch.

Looking down the first 3 pitches. A 70m easily makes it to here.

The start of pitch #10. It took us a second to find this, so we built a carin.
