The Great Red Book. What a route! 02-14-2007

Beta photo of the Great Red Book. Great climb. Climber #1 is at the belay station after pitch 1.

1st pitch belay, ode to rg

the "easiest" way up is to step left onto the face right about Here

The top.

Just over halfway through first pitch, approaching body sized alcove - getting out of it was the crux move for me (first multi-pitch woohoo).. I've seen other commenters going left and climbing the face.. I think that's probably easier than the crack.

cranking around the layback on pitch 1

Such a great climb!
