Joey leads up P2. We started in the right crack for P1, then stepped left into the corner. Fantastic movement!

Nice shot of the lake below.

One variation, there are many.

Mark-up of Pingora's East Face, Left-Side Cracks, from a 9-18-23 climb

I believe the start of pitch 7 on the East Face, Left Side Cracks.

Start of route - parallel cracks or dihedral on the left.

Easier terrain mid route.

Summit Photo - Stoked. We were glad the rain and thunder missed us!

I believe top of pitch 5 before the spicy friction.

Start of the east face

This line felt mostly 5.7 with a section that felt 5.8 on the first pitch of the headwall (P7 for us) where I was thankful to have a #4 and two #3s. I'd also call the boulder problem on the last pitch a 5.8 as well.

Joey jamming the cracks (and his impending poo) up the 7+ corner near the top.

Hand crack about p 7-8.

High on the East face nearing the summit. Great clean corner.

Initial crack. The original route exits this crack earlier and traverses the ledge below on the left to another crack system.

Slabby climbing mid route.

Gokul, p2

Compelling two pitch variation we did to the right of the 4th class stuff in the middle of the route. 5.8/5.9? These pitches are highlighted in pink, modified with permission from Jason Todd's Pingora and topo photo.

Somewhere on the route--looks like the bottom still.
