Getting close to Sister Superior, looking back toward Parriot and the Nuns? Gorgeous.

he made a promise to everyone that his ass would be tanner than our faces by the end of the trip, and he kept his word.

A 70m makes it from the top of the chimney to the ground with room to spare.

Sweet thin hands splitter on the third pitch!

Tim Foulkes replacing a 1/4 inch bolt on the last pitch of Jah Man. Somebody buy that guy a dank soda!

Steve Tweito coming up pitch 4. Nice view of the ridge running to Castleton.

About to go for the approach!

Beta: You can see the old star-drive bolts and the drilled pin. The drilled pin seemed "good" by desert standards and is clippable from the stance. It is the best bolt on the pitch, and it protects the crux move. The rest of them seemed only good for holding a quick draw.

Optional rap route. From the top of the Sister Squeeze flake/pillar you can rap off to the right and hit the ground with one 60m rope. This seemed to be a cleaner rap option then going off the belay anchors on top of P2.

WOOOOO

2nd to last pitch... awesome location

As of May 19, 2017 the summit anchors were pretty sketchy. The newest bolt pulls clear out of the rock. The old piton and ancient angle don't inspire confidence.

Justin King sending the 4th pitch.

Top of Sister Superior right before my partner dropped his Blackberry off the North side haha
