Looking back at the P2 belay while headed up the crux P3 Pitch (5.9). Views are great except for that damn golf course.

Ian coming up over the mini-roof. Relatively easy pitch but some loose bits here and there. Better rock quality above.

Thank you, Dan, for this gem of a summit entry. Forever cherished.

It can get a tad bit windy

All aboard the Earthship! Nearly all of the route is visible from the base. The first pitch is a dark mudrock slab with 7 bolts and a #2 cam placement in the mini roof crack below the tree.

Looking down the first pitch (5.8). Just clip and go and remember to bring your #2 BD cam for the mini-roof.

Ian demonstrating "high stepping" technique over Limestone Band on P2 (5.7). Note horizontal flaky stuff above. Seems solid enough but some of the flakes are pretty thin so step carefully. You'll need a small cam or two to protect this move.

Starting the rap from the summit. You definitely need a 70m rope.

Final section of approach, cut right on a smaller trail if you want to keep it class 2!
