Pitch 3 excellence

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.

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

An armatron.

Starting up Pitch 3.

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

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.

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).

Looking up at the amazing pitch 3 and 4.

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

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.
