Bighorn stopping at the base of Armatron to check us out, October 2010.

Walkoff from the top of Armatron, Pitch 6. Once at the summit head climber's right 2 minutes to a tree with a trail which takes you Northeast/down into the descent gully. Beware the narrow ledge is fairly narrow but very easy/low angle with exposure.

Matt coming up the amazing 3rd pitch of Armatron, October 2010.

Pitch 3 is protected mostly by nuts between the brownstone blocks. Offsets work great.

Gigi cruises the money pitch on Armatron.

The last pitch of the route, which is the last pitch of Requiem for a Tadpole.

Following the arete on the 6th and final pitch, the position of this climb is incredible. Photo credit Chris Lund.

Looking down the 3rd pitch from the middle of the lead.

So many slick plates. Placed something like 8-10 pieces of pro. Surprisingly thoughtful slow climbing. Easy to slip.

The upper pitches of Armatron. A river of varnish.

View of 'Armatron' from the Juniper Canyon drainage. The picture was taken from about where you head up the talus/slabs to the base of the Brownstone Wall. Route goes up where arrow points (angled due to perspective).

rapping from the anchors to the left that i spoke of with a single 70

J. Connell Leading Pitch 2, just beyond the initial finger crack and the right traverse to gain the next line.

Approaching Armatron from the top of Geronimo. Armatron climbs the pillar on the left side of the photo, left of the twin gullies. Possible descent route on the right.

The approach slabs and northern section of the Brownstone Wall with Armatron.

Looking up at the amazing pitch 3 and 4.

The upper climber is leading the varnished third pitch. The circled climber is following pitch 2.

J. Connell starting up Pitch 3. Fantastic pitch on beautiful rock.

The second pitch. The visible piece is the sling with the jammed knot.

Racing the sunset on "Armatron," 20 March 2008. As seen from "Bird Hunter Buttress".

Greg Barnes on the last pitch of Armatron

The end of the first pitch (which is excellent).

Near the top of Pitch 2, just below the anchors on the left (which are for Sweet Thin), look for a bolt on the juggy right wall and climb up this 40 feet or so to the anchor.

Looking back down P3, above its 160' of patina bliss, and impeccable double ropes management. 11 Feb 2022.

Chad, Scott, Caleb & Jeremy, summit of Juniper Peak, 02-2021.

An ultra wide shot looking down the third pitch.

Fun patina to climb on the upper pitches!

Narrow ledge on Armatron walkoff. There's a 30 foot drop to the left. Ledge is about 3 feet wide.

Pitch 3 is mostly protected by nuts between the brownstone blocks. There are a few horizontals that take cams. Here is a photo of the #2 placement mentioned in some route descriptions.
