The start of the route... super easy fun route. Great to take beginners on. Photo by Brian Aitken.

Beautiful area, have done the climb both with no rope and rope. Recommend setting up a rope if you are with beginners

Looking down from the 2nd belay anchors

Looking glass rock - amphitheater and looking glass hole.

I first thought these chopped steps to be ancient since most of the domes in the area contain steps. However after new information I see these are more recent. It's absolutely pathetic that climbers are chopping steps into any route.

Rapping with snow coming. Also, 2nd one from a different point for photo-op

Pitch three anchors, two bolts.

Pitch one anchor, a new chain has been added to the bolt that was missing one. As of 6/21/2020 there should be two chains.

Pitch two anchors, two bolts with quicklinks; and maybe rap rings

beward of snakes at the start of looking glass rock!

Looking glass rock - view of rap station from inside amphitheater. You can just make out someone about to rappel down.

Don't forget the log book!

Getting the repel setup

Looking up from the start of the first pitch. The first bolt is located right where the figure (Mark!) is pictured.

Having fun on the rappel

Me on pitch 2 (I combined 2 and 3 with a 70m rope).

Super chill

Going through the looking glass from the parking area toward the beginning of the climb.
