lots of options to the summit

view from the tower second from the notch

the thin slab that starts the tower second from the notch

We skirted the first small tower.

the next set of towers after the notch

morning light on Mt Wilson and Cactus Flower Tower

lots of slab walking to get down into the canyon

Cinnamon Hedgehog from the E Arete

on the ridge proper with pretty good rock

the E Arete; unless you like vegetated runout climbing you'll want to head up the gully a short ways before gaining the ridge

very approximate route (white dots mark where the route enters from the gully); there's a rap station at the top of the obvious notch.

your reward for making the summit, view of Rainbow Mt

Aeolian Wall from the route

one of the first set of downclimbs/raps on the descent

our first roped pitch (probably a good thing as the rock was a little crumbly); there's a rap station at the top of this tower.
