We took the double rope rappel off. Photographer Glenn Randal took this shot and sent it to me after we recovered a dropped cam for his party ahead of us.

Petite from the North. This is taken from the top of the 5.3 chimney you climb to approach the Gash after rapping off the summit.

Mark Neagle on the summit pitch of the Petit Grepon (07/15/2007).

5.7 finger crack !(#? on pitch 7.

Cute but deadly... to my approach shoes I left on the ledge after scrambling up the first two pitches.

We started climbing at 230am. The sun caught up with us 4 pitches in, and it was magical.

NICE.

Ed Smith on the final pitch of the Petit.

Evidence of just how good that dihedral pitch is! Jared smiling wide.

Coming up the second to last pitch. <br>

Climbing up from rap to notch between Saber and PG.

No, I am not stoned! I had just pulled a huge boulder loose right before topping out. Yep, it scared me.

Petit South Face.

Dave leading above the Pizza Pan belay.

Mike? cruising the last pitch.

Going up... Petit Grepon, S. Face, 6/2014.

Lon Black rappelling off the Petit after we were rained off at the sixth pitch.

Hugging the corner.

4th pitch.

Pitch 2, I believe.

At the anchor at the top of pitch 4, I would recommend backing up the 2 fixed pins with a couple small cams. I'm sure they are bomber, but they are getting old and leading off into pitch 5 is a fairly spicy runnout.

Red Dogg wondering what took us so long, he was free soloing and waiting on the summit.

Good to be down, could not be any wetter had I jumped in Sky Pond. Photo of Tobin.

Mike again.

Scramble start of Petit Grepon.

Summit traverse over to the rap line.

Pitch 3 - 2nd chimney.

The last rap.

Looking down from the top of the first, 250' pitch.

From notch between Saber and PG, looking at the easy walk to the notch between Saber and Sharkstooth. The Gash is just beyond there.

Pitch 6(?). Petit Grepon, S. Face, 6/2014.

Second to last pitch!
