Looking back from the end of the traverse. Or the beginning if you start from the other side. The pillar in the middle has the bolted face. Looks between 5.6 to 5.9 face climbing.

The ridge traverse as viewed from Emerald Bay
Me going up one of the tricker sections of the traverse (the majority of it is easy scrambling)
On top of the pillar (2 bolts)
A "choose your own adventure" ridge climb where you can take it easy by going left or right, or spice it up on the ridge.
Me looking down from the neat "diving board" feature that you encounter before reaching the pillar summit block on the Eagle Lake Buttress Traverse
Little exposure
At the start of the ridge traverse, where most other routes top out around 9AM on a Tuesday, not another soul in sight!
Cool triangular summit a little over half way through the climb
