Topping out at sunset above the Selkirk Crest.
View of the 3rd pitch. We climbed up towards the straight splitter crack in the center of the photo (looks very small from here), passing a piton on our left, before traversing left into the notch.

From the Frank Hefferlin Albums curated by the Spokane Mountaineers. Courtesy of historian, Chic Burge. <br> <br> I believe paragraph two references what became "The High Traverse.
The route goes up the obvious corner/crack system in the middle into the shaded area. We climbed where the dark rock meets the light rock, then up to the right.

Crux Pitch 8/10/22
Crux on the standard route. You can stand on a ledge to place the 0.50" cam and then step up stemming to place the #2. When you pull over this via lay backs there is a 2nd less strenuous layback that protects the finish.
Photo taken from top of pitch one. Don't end up on the ledge like we did - it required a slightly dicey traverse to get back on route.
