Almost the whole route, starting from the second pitch. The route traverses left of the climber and ends on the large roof left of the summit.

The ledge atop pitch 9 offers a great place to take a nap before completing the final short pitch and walk back to the car.

Pitch 4 traverse with the angle exaggerated in the other direction compared to the other photos. What's the real angle of this pitch? You'll just have to go and find out!

The start of the route.

Enjoying some chocolate milk on the summit. Best post-climb drink. No cap.

Benoit Blanc on the final ledge of the route.

Ann-Marie Maly about to step out over the giant roof on the 10th (final) pitch.

Approximate location of aggresive honey bee colony attack of 2 separate hiking groups on the trail that serves as descent trail for Void of Form. One hiker reported 50 stings, 3 other hikers required SAR rescue & helicopter evac of one of the hikers.

The route starts right about here.

The climber's trail branches off of the Pontatoc Canyon trail at 32º20'41.95" N, 110º53'31.02" W, just before the trail switches back to the West.

Looking down at the anchors on pitch 1.

Mid-way up the 2nd official pitch. I would recommend combining pitches 1 and 2 with a 70m rope.

The approach to the main wall. Took us about 1.5 hours from car to the base.

Beautiful views of the dirty T

Pulling over the top

Looking back across the easy slab traverse on the bank of the wash. Before crossing to start the final approach.

Remnants of fire retardant paint on some of the bolt hangers following the Bighorn Fire. All bolts are fine, I just thought this was mildly interesting.

Follower coming up Pitch 3 after crossing over the corner and onto the slab portion. Bolt line comes halfway up the wall then off to climbers right before moving back to climbers left to the anchors.

Happy follower on pitch 3!
