Guy making his way up the crux pitch - he's almost to the midway ledge which some use as an intermediate belay. Save a 0.75 Camalot for the belay to avoid this uncomfortable one off to the side.

Looking down on pitch 2 from Crossover Ledge. Pitch 3 of D7 continues up off left side of ledge, but we were continuing onto Black Dagger which continues up off the right side of ledge (if you're wondering what's with the cams, I ran out of slings...).
Looking down on our pitch 2 - guidebook pitch 3. Pitches 1-3 can be combined into 2 long pitches if each leader stretches the rope.

Charlie Fowler, Kathy (?), and Jim Tangen-Foster (L-to-R) after summiting D7 in 1976. It was Fowler's 1st time on the Diamond. In 1978, he free soloed the Casual Route.
