Looking up " The money pitch "

fun day with Jen Kane

This is the lower of two walk+rap off options. Go higher past the last pitch, follow cairns to climbers left... keep following these cairns, the will drop down past this to a huge detached pillar/block. You can downclimb to rap anchors nearby.

Three climbers on Solar Slab with one hidden up in the great pitch 3 finger crack

Pitch 1, Solar Slab. The crack you are aiming for is the one on the right leading to the tree.

A titon in the wild at the second rap anchor on the walkoff descent after doing all nine pitches (photo taken 2/22/21).

Looking back towards the arch after having passed under it. This is a landmark for the higher walk + rap option. Go a little higher, find cairns leading into a gully, a few single rope raps, one optional, then down painted bowl, towards IBM boulder, etc

First of 12? rappels.

early season run-off

Enjoying the sunset before a long rap by headlamp. It's not the hardest climb, but it sure makes for a great, long adventure day.

View of the slab from the 4th pitch of Johnny Vegas. Solar slab is follows the handcrack to the right of the arch, then up the top of the arch. Heliotrope is the crack up and right of the initial handcrack.

Climbers enjoy the Solar Slab.

The descent gully on solar slab. Descending a little later than optimal....as usual.
