Coming across one of the locals while rappeling down the slab of the Grack.

Awesome hand crack on pitch 2.

Taken from the top. Brianna is starting the last pitch. The solitary gold colored tree down below is the start.

Sandra at the optional belay for P1. P2 can be seen sweeping up to the left in a beautiful arc.

Summit!

Starting our costumed ascent.

Simul-rapping off the Grack. You should skip the first bolt anchor you hit and look for another one just a little farther down.

Michael McKay nears the anchor atop P3 of the Grack. This photo shows the final 20 feet of runout slab climbing (5.5?) that finishes the route.

P 2 of the Grack. In my opinion, this is the best pitch.

The 2nd pitch of the Grack. It's an enjoyable cruise starting with a single crack turning into a double crack system and ending with a bit of slab.

The conga line on Grack. In order to miss the crowd we waited until 1/2 an hour before dark and then ripped up the thing in two pitches with a bit of simul-climbing.
