Me sitting on top the falls, after the tunnel, anchored to a tree.

If you do Pitch 12 above the tunnel, one rappel option is to do a single-rope rap off of this tree back down to the tunnel and reverse the tunnel. With two ropes, there might be another rap anchor to the left that allows you to rap to the belay anchor on the left side of the tunnel and hence bypass having to reverse the tunnel.
Bring a headlamp - it's totally dark in the tunnel.

Goat en route, just below the chimney/corner system of Pitch 6.
"Pitch" 3 and "Pitch" 4 are essentially a hike along an exposed trail.
Pitch 1. In this photo, Rob is at the first bolt on the route.

Top of falls.
Pitch 8.
Heading up the last pitch (after the cave) could have gone with just a bolt or 2 - no gear
Next to rooster tail!
After the climb, all smiles
Photo topo - Ramey 2011<br> Belay 3 is approximate since there are multiple stations, 3a and 4a are omitted for clarity. From station 2, just simul to 4a or 4 or scramble to the end of the rope and find the closest station as there are several to choose from.
Light at the end of the tunnel, FINALLY
