Soaking in the sunrise & view from the first summit, Pingora. This photo shows the peaks that make up most of the technical climbing on the Cirque Traverse. What’s left? Around 24 pitches including the iconic 50 classic East Ridge of Wolf’s Head, ~14 raps, & a lot of scrambling.

A view looking back after completing the most technical parts of the route. I also posted a video summary of doing this route on youtube.
