The Ridge: great mornings can turn into one hail of an afternoon. Take shelter from the storm.

Farther up "the ridge"....
The horizontal summit ridge is mostly not at all exposed, but we belayed it anyway in 2 pitches to get to the trees.

The Ridge. P5 can't be seen (dotted line).
This is how we did P1. After traversing left and moving over the overhang I was a bit gripped, climbing off of a couple of tiny brass nuts. Didn't see the bolt mentioned in the comments and therefore wasn't sure I was on route.
Pitch 4: which way do you want to go?
Pitch 1: the second fixed pin, just after a small roof.
Pitch 4: slab to the upper roof dihedral is recommended.
Pitch 5: The Ridge portion of The Ridge, still roped up with a short section of rope.
Pitch 1: looking down from the first small roof. Observe the protection and spacing.
Near the second belay, looking south.
Pitch 1: Texas two step traverse left on pitch 1 at the small roof. Use a longer runner.
The first pin on pitch 1.
Piz Badille from the north, 8AM.
Pitch 2: fixed pin with a ring followed by the previous pin without a ring.
