Looking at the top of the descent gully from just downhill of the descent topo GPS. Also a pretty photo of a beautiful day.
Going around the corner of the big roof on P6 of "The Morgul Vale".

This is looking toward the summit ridge from just past the top of P10b anchors. <br> <br> EDIT: Follow the ridge on the skyline and there are two bolts to clip on the way on the steepest parts.
