Night climbing was fun

Rough topo. Photo taken from near the mouth of the canyon. If you're feeling particularly energetic, head on over to Squawstruck once you top out on this thing.<br>

The first pitch is hidden behind the ridge in the photo.

Nearing the top of Pitch 7

The final 2 pitches of Cosmic Space Dust Lazers, as seen from the top of the 7th pitch.

Looking down from the top of Pitch 8

The top of Pitch 4

Got to the top in 3 hours followed by an hour of rap in the dark

Rappin' down from pitch 9 absolutely amazing sunset

Looking up at the crux sequence on Pitch 9. The good holds are to the left of the bolt line.

Top of the 3rd pitch! Pretty good exposure.

A view from the top of pitch nine. Feels good

The base of pitch 1

To whoever was about to summit CSDL on May 29th, 2021 here ya go.

Top of the third pitch on a sunny March Day 2014

Cleaning the top of the 2nd pitch of Cosmic Space Dust Lazers

Descent info. Out of frame, you top out P9 far right. From there, walk along the ridge and towards Trilogy Buttress. We went to the right of that small overhang formation and up

Almost the top of the third pitch on March 8th 2014. Super fun route. Third pitch is lots of fun.

Happy belayers make for happy climbers

Belay at pitch 6, 7? Can't remember

A view of AC/DC wall scrambling down after Cosmic's.

View of Pitch 1 of C.S.D.L.

This climb is rad. To the max!

Parker leading the 2nd pitch.

View from the bottom of pitch 4 (I think?)

Toppin' the 2nd pitch

View of easier from top of pitch 7 (try to avoid the bushes unlike what I did)

The top of pitch 3 westward view

Me cheesing fter the first 7 pitches and before the last 2 pitches.

a view of thr 4th class pitch from above. get to the bolt, mantle then get creative with your rope placement. run between rocks and be sensitive to your fall line and you'll stay protected.

How to find the start of P4. Go up the gully to the left at the top of P3 and follow this trail and you'll be directly at 2 bolts above head height in the moss

A bit closer view of the last pitch.

Me leading the first pitch, extend everything with runners

Starting up the first pitch

Going down on pitch 3 or 4 not sure

From the top of pitch 9, the chains for the top of pitch 9 are on the ledge just below.

Night climbing was fun
