Slab crack section. Upper ridge.

Don heading up the coulior to gain the middle notch.

Bolted rap station at the base of the Gendarme. It is possible to rappel here and climb around right of the Gendarme. Apparently the climbing is a bit easier down there. But the Gendarme offers such great climbing it would be a shame to bypass it.

Fixed cam in the offwidth on the second pitch of the Gendarme.
