Scrambling up the last few feet to the summit. This route is classic because the feature and views are so awesome!

Mike Kaserman took me up the route given in the photo. Thanks again, Mike!

Rachel stoked to be on the summit of the Sundial. Dromedary Peak is in the far background

Eleventh Hour. Approximate belay locations in gray, descent (rappels) in yellow.

Crux dihedral pro. Just go for it!

Boissal is looking smooth on the 3rd pitch of Eleventh hour.

2nd pitch: After getting to the bolted anchors finishing the first pitch, you'll walk about 30 feet to the right side to this area to create your our own anchor and begin the 2nd pitch here.

Yeah there really was a moose in the meadow.. My wife and I were soooo happy were made the hike up to do this climb..

Rappel stations are seen in top right of view. Live trees are easy to rap off of. Can be done with only 2 rap stations if using a 70 m rope; be prepared to leave behind a sling/biner. Scree and boulder fields to descend.

Watch your step

Looking down the 3rd or last pitch July 2016

3rd pitch variation. From the nice belay ledge went left up the diagonal crack and over the over hang for a stout 9+ variation.

One of the ways to do pitch 4/5.

The descent toward Lake Blanche. Hard to believe SLC is just over yonder.

The end of the rappels: my never-cold, crazy partner in his wintry element

Topping out a pitch... not sure which one<br>

Not the best photo but in the right corner you can see a moose.. !

Second pitch.

Leading through the crux. It was exactly as described on MP: slab moves with holds on the right, ending with a long reach. An exciting section of climbing.

Having fun on Pitch 1 of Eleventh Hour

FWIW, here's a variation (in red) that I did way back when I had poor beta and got lost. The middle pitches were generally cleaner than some of the "standard route" middle pitch photos here appear, at least in terms of objective hazard. Gear was sparse, but I think the climbing stayed at 5.8 or less.

From spring of 2013

If done as 3 pitches, this would be the start of the 2nd pitch. Climb to top of slab and make way to right ledge (about 5' by 7'); not my favorite belay station, but it works if you want to finish in 3 pitches.

Shivers (Lucas Johnson) on a comfy hanging belay

First pitch, carry more than 8 alpine draws, I suggest at least 10..fun pitch otherwise

You couldn't ask for better scenery

Just a nice photo of what you are about to ascend;)
