Soaking in the sunrise & view from the first summit, Pingora. This photo shows the peaks that make up most of the technical climbing on the Cirque Traverse. What’s left? Around 24 pitches including the iconic 50 classic East Ridge of Wolf’s Head, ~14 raps, & a lot of scrambling.

The traverse from the North summit of Shark's Nose to the South summit of Shark's Nose. We felt this was the crux climbing of the traverse. Casey is on the crux "5.8" move.
The col between Block Tower and Watchtower. The climber's finish to the CT: heading up and left to nice splitter finger cracks (5.9) for an alternate and more elegant path to the Watchtower part of the Cirque Traverse. See comment for more detail.
