The approach trail currently looks like this. There is a small cairn, but is easily missed (we blew right past it and ended up bushwhacking). Hopefully this photo will be slightly helpful. NOT an obvious trail.

Pat McCarthy on incredible pitch 5. July, 2007.

Pedestal ledge. There's a bolt up on the wall that will prevent the rope from dragging over the rock like this and help reduce rope drag for the belay. I failed to see it and struggled

Last smeary moves of pitch 4.

Splitter upper shield crack!

stoked!

Goats await on top

5.9 finger crack Crux off the belay

3rd Pitch. 5.8+ Climbing to Traverse isn't trivial. Traverse is tricky, but with right sequence wasn't too tough to follow. After that (not in picture), "balancey" 5.8 climbing to end pitch. This pitch doesn't let up but was fun!

Awkward angle but this is the continuation of the 3rd pitch traverse. It doesn't let up until the end :)

Splitter as f*ck

Upper headwall splitter.

The infamous travers. Tricky but fun and exhilarating! The orange rope was a fixed line that someone left up there (unfortunately for the photo)

Pitch 3. Climbing up towards the traverse.

Nice perch at the start of the .7 crack.
