Pitch 1 from the start.

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.

route description from CascadeClimbers

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

Pitch 8.

Steep fingers on Pitch 6.

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

Last part of Pitch 5.

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

Pitch 7.

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