Looking down Pitch 2. Awesome position!

Fixed ropes at base of route. If you have a single 60, you can avoid a final rappel by downclimbing the fixed lines.

Finishing up Star Check

CN Railroad trestle downstream from Star Chek.

Middle of the approach trail goes through this boulder field. Might not look obvious from this angle but the trail was quite obvious. If you pass a mangled, rusted pile of metal on your left then you are going the correct way.

Awesome position on Pitch 2.

Just a bunch of stupid goofs

Looking at p1 in high water. Best not slip into the stream!

Rap anchor at top of route. Alternatively, hike to base.

a funtastic exposure route!
