Topo. Notice the alternative rap anchor that lets you get down from the top of pitch 3 in two 60m rappels. The red is the two unfinished pitches. They are much easier than the first 6 pitches, but they are free solos in their current state.

Emily's photo of the fire while we were rappeling. The fire was gaining size quickly and getting a little close for comfort on the first two raps. This photo was taken near the bottom of the rappels
On the day of the FA, a fire had started in the grass tufts to the right of our line. By the time that we were rappeling, the fire had spread within 100 feet of our route after the wind shifted. The fire also caused some pretty substantial rock fall
On our final push. We ran out of time so we were attempting to free the route while still needing to finish equipping the upper pitches. Got benighted at the top of 6 and were running low on bolts so 7 and 8 are currently unfinished
