Pano of the ridge.

Looking back at the beginning of the knife edge - Jan. 21, 2017.

Sally on one of the few ledge-style harder sections. Most of these can be avoided by looking around to the sides.

Good view of the entire route

This is the "chimney" section that CAN go at 5.3 if you climb the face that Sally's on, or 4th class if you ascend the chimney-proper. Again, this feature can be avoided. Just look around.

Me hanging onto a short spire for dear life. Not necessary. We climbed the whole route in Tevas. Blow it out your ear!
