Couldn't have timed the summit any closer to nightfall. That descent was pretty hefty in the dark.

Two parties of climbers on The Thumb. Nov. 23, 2008.
An update on Greg's photo. It has two additional rap stations shown for the lower half of The Thumb.

Centered in this photo is the Thumb Area.
Showing the walk off descent route from the summit. Easy, safe, and fast. Expect 1.5 hours, summit to car, for your first time down.
Here is my crappy update to Lee Jensen's nice topo (Sorry I hijacked your topo Lee). We brought 2 ropes, and everything went pretty smooth. I think it took us about an hour to descend, and we were a party of 3.
