Brett on the final pitch. I thought this corner was the crux of the climb (5.7), the recent guidebook called it 5.6.

First Creek Slabs (left) from the approach

This rap station is somewhat hidden from above. I believe there are two more rappels after this to the ground.

Looking up the easy low angle slab that leads to the awesome hand crack finish.

Looking up at Pitch 1. Fun and mellow start.

sadly all that I scored on the route

Nice, well protected slab with a bulge

Rap station mid way down the descent gully.

DeAngelo et al on the neat and clean upper pitches.

From the top of the route, there is still some scrambling to reach the descent ramp.

Looking up on the upper rib. The foreshortened exit corner is visible immediately to the right of the belayer.

Moving to the right onto the upper rib.

Approaching the belay position to the left of the midway headwall of Sunset Slab.

Nice face climbing low on Sunset Slab.

Looking down on Pitch 3. Great protection and fun climbing.

Looking up at pitch 1.

You can see the large pine tree which is directly above the descent gully.

the hand crack (lichen didn't interfere with the friction)

Looking up at the great finger crack at the start of Pitch 2. You can vaguely see the rope to the left of the frame.

Rappelling from the 2nd station.

This is the steep third class approach to the start of the route. After climbing this ladder of pockets, step left and down to the ledge above the giant jumble of boulders, which will put you at the start of pitch 1, right where fossana's "charlie brown tree" picture was taken.
