Jamming the upper right-hand splitter on Pitch 5. The angle is actually a tad steeper than it appears in this photo, though its still super slabby at this point. (Photo: Dave Spies)

Pitch 6: The Splitter From Heaven
Steve approaches the massive east face of Humphreys in mid-summer conditions. Yellow and green lines show the known routes on the wall.

"Hey guys, look up and smile!" - Dave Spies, belaying us up the 3rd pitch. Don't let the shirt fool you - Steve and I are in fact Canadian.
Approaching the roof at the top of the first pitch. Without a big (6-8") cam, the wideness leading up to the roof does not protect. It is, however, no harder than 5.5, so I wouldn't worry about it. (Photo: Steve Stosky)
Looking down pitch 5, the Splitter Trio. Steve was nice enough to route the two ropes into different cracks so that Dave and I could climb side-by-side above the snowfields and multicoloured talus. Surreal! (Photo: Steve Stosky)
Looking up at Pitch 5 from the base. There are three cracks on the face above Dave (can't quite see them). Another good option is the corner crack on far right (green rope), but please go ahead and decide for yourself!
Looking across at Dave cruising the left crack of the Splitter Trio. Awesome backdrop of colourful Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks!

Dave belays Steve up to the top of Oatmeal Tower (the final pitch). Spicy "rock" quality!
