Looking down from the steep juggy arete with the airy exposure, along the actual Tranquility route that veers out left to lead up to the sub-summit. 25 Nov 2018.
This is the route Tranquility follows if you read the guides written by Alan Bartlett, Randy Vogel, or the old guide by John Wolfe and Bob Dominick. You don't walk around to the right above the roof, you move left to the exposed arete. This felt like 5.6, maybe 5.5 to me.
