Best approach: Stay on the Consolation Lakes trail, or slightly above the trail but below the talus, until you reach this point. Head straight up the groove from here to the lowest part of the wall. Start from here, or go right along the wall to the ledge

Following the second pitch.
Start of the second pitch traverse on the McKay Route.
Looking down at the base of the belay for our 6th pitch (5th pitch in route description; we didn't simulclimb previous 250 ft 5.8 pitch).
Looking down from the outstanding last pitch, very fun climbing in a beautiful position
