Last pitch of Icarus / Yellow Spur.

Deb at the top of P3 on Icarus.

Chase about to start the last (shared) pitch of Yellow Spur.

Kirra and I on Icarus. I forget the name of the photographer that made this nice montage.

The "alternate" first belay.

Probably one of the best 5.6s out there. Exposure, steep, engaging, and provocative at the end.

Stay away from the arete until the last pitch to the summit.

Hunter past the fun crux of Icarus.

The view from the first 70 feet or so of Icarus.

An unknown climber starting up Icarus. This and the next 2 photos taken from Green Slab Direct. I think.

A party finishing the last pitch in some serious HEAT! If you guys see this, I've got a bunch more shots to send you... .

A couple of unknown parties on Icarus, 11-9-13.

Matt Gates reaches the top of Tower One via Icarus.

Second corner.

Heading up pitch 2 of Icarus, climbers on Rewritten can be seen in the crack on the far side wall.

Hunter coming down to the notch. This part can be sketchy, but find your feet, and you’ll be solid.

Nearing the top.

Unknown climber on the arete. This climber stayed here for what seemed like forever, climbing up and down, trying to get in gear, before downclimbing all the way to the Red Ledge. Perhaps he traversed right too low?

Summit.

First corner.

Jim Illg on final pitch of Icarus.

A climber reaching the final traverse of Icarus....

Brian C. on the runout pitch.

Looking toward Lumpe Tower.

One of my favorite pictures. Just amazing to be up there. Just a tad cooler than Rebuffat’s Arete in my opinion.

Unknown climber traversing out to the arete.

Starting up the last pitch of Icarus / Yellow Spur.

John psyched to start the final arete.

Can't beat the position.

Almost at the top.

Steep (but lots of holds).

Barry making the traverse from the summit to the Dirty Deed's rappel start.
