Last pitch of Icarus / Yellow Spur.

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

The "alternate" first belay.

Deb at the top of P3 on Icarus.

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

Summit.

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?

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

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

Can't beat the position.

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.

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

Unknown climber traversing out to the arete.

Matt Gates reaches the top of Tower One via Icarus.

Starting up the last pitch of Icarus / Yellow Spur.

Brian C. on the runout pitch.

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

John psyched to start the final arete.

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

Almost at the top.

Looking toward Lumpe Tower.

Second corner.

Steep (but lots of holds).

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

Jim Illg on final pitch of Icarus.

Hunter past the fun crux of Icarus.

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... .

Nearing the top.

Dave Yount just sewed up the 5.5 runout section of Icarus with 7 placements from his comprehensive rack.

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

First corner.
