Pitch off the bivy ledge.

From the top.
John Fleming on the pitch below the big bivy ledge. We found a gallon of water here, liquid gold. Rumor was it from the one of the Lowe's ascent?

I think this was May or June of 1977. Maybe 76 or 78 but '77 seems right. Nov 23, 2015

Here is the topo I made for the route after Nate and I did the route.
4 or 5th ascent? Based on Rangers.<br> Getting up to bivy ledge. We hoped to do it all clean. Started pounding iron about here.
Top of the pulpit. Scary soft white rock!

Some images from an early ascent. At that time, the ranger station had pitch 3 as aid climbing. We did free climb it. Seemed like 10 or 9 in RRs.
This is an old topo drawn back in the 70's. The gear list is out dated...pre-cams.
