Dirk Tyler at the bulge on the 1st pitch of Lonely Vigil.

Wyatt & I climbed Lonely Vigil on 6/1/12 and repeated our Wedding Vows at the summit before God.

The first rappel if rapping with a single cord.

[EDIT: someone commented this anchor has been updated!] If you rap from just before the summit down toward Dolomite Tower (per Greg Gavin's rap beta), this is the current anchor that you arrive at... then rap from this at the big ledge 35 m to the ground

The top. Small and fragile

Sunset shadow of Dolomite Tower and Lighthouse Tower from the third pitch of Lonely Vigil

Brendan trying some sketchy gear on the summit pitch

happy to be done with the downclimb

The top moves really aren't that bad... don't let it keep you from doing a fantastic route!<br>

Annie on top. The pro you do have on this pitch is somewhat worthless. Going up is easy, coming down a bit trickier.

Dirk Tyler pulling the mantel on the short last pitch to stand on top.

Such a cool summit block

Going up the Stem Box. Watch the butt cramp!
