A photo overlay of Southwest Corner and South Face routes and rappel locations.

Petite from the North. This is taken from the top of the 5.3 chimney you climb to approach the Gash after rapping off the summit.

Cute but deadly... to my approach shoes I left on the ledge after scrambling up the first two pitches.

We started climbing at 230am. The sun caught up with us 4 pitches in, and it was magical.

We took the double rope rappel off. Photographer Glenn Randal took this shot and sent it to me after we recovered a dropped cam for his party ahead of us.

Ed Smith on the final pitch of the Petit.

Mark Neagle on the summit pitch of the Petit Grepon (07/15/2007).

Evidence of just how good that dihedral pitch is! Jared smiling wide.

Coming up the second to last pitch. <br>

Larry Pedigo performs self rescue by prussik'ing up the 1st rap in order to free our stuck rope, all under ominous skies and pounding rain!

The fifth rappel is off the Second Terrace and is a bit hard to find from above. Here's a photo looking up at the anchor location from below.

Climbing up from rap to notch between Saber and PG.

No, I am not stoned! I had just pulled a huge boulder loose right before topping out. Yep, it scared me.

Good to be down, could not be any wetter had I jumped in Sky Pond. Photo of Tobin.

First rappel of the Petit Grepon taken from the Saber.

From notch between Saber and PG, looking at the easy walk to the notch between Saber and Sharkstooth. The Gash is just beyond there.

Pitch 6(?). Petit Grepon, S. Face, 6/2014.

Looking down from the top of the first, 250' pitch.

Going up... Petit Grepon, S. Face, 6/2014.

Brett leads the crux pitch of the South Face, Petit Grepon.

One of the most exciting (several) pitches of rock. Taken partway up pitch 7. Great holds, great rock, and amazing exposure. If this doesn't put a slap-happy grin on your face, I dunno what will.

Early light on the South Face of the Petit Grepon.

At the anchor at the top of pitch 4, I would recommend backing up the 2 fixed pins with a couple small cams. I'm sure they are bomber, but they are getting old and leading off into pitch 5 is a fairly spicy runnout.
