Top section of pitch 5

On the right side of the buttress look for the clean slab and directly in the middle of that slab is the alcove and hand crack (pitch 2). To the left of the top there is a flying fin, that is pitch 4. Approximate belay locations of FA.

Looking up pitch 5 and chockstone. Watch loose rock. Steep. Crux.

Looking down pitch 5 see Brian belaying on looker's right

Pitch 5- cross over to the narrowest gap and then onto this face which continues up out of the picture.

The bushy ledge at the bottom of the descent gully. There is a large cairn looker's right to direct climbers toward the approach gully.

Top! Not a bad view of the great peaks-

Descent gully to the right

Hand-sized splitter with fin above and to the left.

Looking at small second roof in hand crack

Looking down the gorgeous corner, mid-way up pitch 2.

Pitch 2-Brian Smoot during FA up the great hand crack

Pitch 1- "Jungle Pitch" Go get em!

This is the chimney to go up that is in drainage just right of the route. Be careful of loose rocks.

from top of pitch 3 looking a flying fin's south face on the left and then just barely to the right pitch pitch 5.

Looking down pitch 3

PIne tree on the left is where we rappelled from (slung webbing)
