Steven VS approaching the first belay on the first working-day on Rusty Cage. Note that there was quite a bit of ice then (early December 2013), but this ice was mostly gone by mid-January 2014.
Rusty Cage route. X represent 2-bolt (all-stainless hardware) anchors rigged for rappelling. Anchors may be hidden under snow-mushrooms, especially the third.

Steven VS approaching the 3rd belay stance. At this point, he has just exited the steep section of pitch 3.

Steve escaping the rusty cage, kind of reminded me of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks.
