Fixed to 6 then enjoyed the sunset against half dome on dinner ledge. Unforgettable.

Alpine starts are absolutely imperative on walls.

Checking in on my zoom class while Ella back cleans the entire Kor Roof so we can jug straight from the ledge

Washington Column, high up on the South Face. This is the "awesome 5.9 crack" that leads to the chimney above (and right).

Settin off into P5

Jugging from Dinner Ledge to pitch 5 in the early am. Two dudes from Bozeman.

Dinner Ledge is great for that morning tea in your 0deg sack

It's 2019 and here are climbers using AirDrop (bluetooth) to instantaneously swap photos that they took of one another. What a time to be alive.

Jugging before sunrise on the South Face.

Kor would be impressed how much a #4 C4 can mitigate "the well known technique of struggling".

Having fun on South Face

Somebody cleaning the kor roof. Seen from a fixed line to p6 of skull Queen.

Pitch 6. Roxy got off route right before the anchor, so i had to lower out off of a broken copperhead. Oh well, but I got an amazing photo, so can't complain.

just about to start up The Kor Roof.

Local wildlife on dinner ledge

3 waking up on the honeymoon suite of dinner ledge.

Not a bad idea to short fix at the first anchor after finishing the Kor roof, then run up to the start of P5 and take a nap while your follower struggles to turn the roof. ;)

Also, the Revo is a game changer for short fixing, fwiw...

Starting out on 3rd aid pitch above Dinner Ledge, April '78. Eyeing what was probably a 1/4" rivet bolt...

First pitch

Stay hydrated kids. Hot august ascent with Josh Linker

NOPE lol

The chimney belay at te top of P8. By far the most comfortable and roomy belay with two people crammed in there. But great pitches before and after.

Resting on Dinner Ledge

Ready to charge

Rappelling off the Kor Roof. Had to bail due to pending rain.
