route description from CascadeClimbers

Loren Foss and Tom Michael on pitch one, or two if you go by the topo. I always link pitches one and two into one long, super fun pitch of varied climbing.

Pitch 1 from the start.

Steep fingers on Pitch 6.

Last part of Pitch 5.

One of the routes closer to the saddle. This is not the Hitchhiker. Don't climb this. Keep heading down.

The start of pitch 8. Climb through the tree and up the wide crack to reach the base of the bolted 5.10 slab.

Near the top of pitch 6. Just around the corner after the backwards c-shaped 5.11 pitch. Linking pitches 5 & 6 worked well.

Alex & Adam (I think) working on Pitch 2 as seen from the approach.

Pitch 7.

Pitch 8.

In the spring, the approach from the Hairpin is the quickest.

Me on the P7 5.10 variation through 6 bolts.
