Climbed 9/1/17. See previous photo for p1-p3. We did the middle section in two long run-out pitches. Be careful of the larger loose blocks and smaller choss. Once up on lunch ledge get ready for the two money pitches!

Looking up and right from the second to last belay. (You don't climb this.) I remember looking at it and thinking "Isn't that interesting how that almost looks man-made?"

Here is some approximation of how I have climbed the route Lakeview.Very little loose rock is encountered.

Looking up at the final pitch. The flake that leads to the corner is visible as the whitish streak leading up and slightly right from the slab, to the left of the obvious left-leaning crack.

Looking back at the second belay.

My partner and I climbed this route on 9/1/17. You can break the pitches up into whatever length works for you. The first and last two pitches have a preferred (obvious) line. Pitch 3 was confusing at first. We went up right and then left, guessing this was the weakness in the overlap. Once on top going left it becomes run-out but is low angle friction slab for 15-20 feet.

Looking down the corner on the last pitch. The flake is not visible.

Looking down the fun cracks on the second-to-last pitch.

After climbing into the fog all day, we finally saw our objective! I was happy that it stayed clear until we reached the summit. This was my first multi-pitch on Cannon and this made for quite the EPIC experience.
