Walkoff from the top of Armatron, Pitch 6. Once at the summit head climber's right 2 minutes to a tree with a trail which takes you Northeast/down into the descent gully. Beware the narrow ledge is fairly narrow but very easy/low angle with exposure.

Pitch 3 is protected mostly by nuts between the brownstone blocks. Offsets work great.

Following the arete on the 6th and final pitch, the position of this climb is incredible. Photo credit Chris Lund.

The last pitch of the route, which is the last pitch of Requiem for a Tadpole.

So many slick plates. Placed something like 8-10 pieces of pro. Surprisingly thoughtful slow climbing. Easy to slip.

Pitch 2, 5.9 finger crack section.

The upper pitches of Armatron. A river of varnish.

Climbers reaching the belay at the base of pitch 3. The climber in the lower left of the photo is leading pitch 2.

View of 'Armatron' from the Juniper Canyon drainage. The picture was taken from about where you head up the talus/slabs to the base of the Brownstone Wall. Route goes up where arrow points (angled due to perspective).

Pitch 3 is mostly protected by nuts between the brownstone blocks. There are a few horizontals that take cams. Here is a photo of the #2 placement mentioned in some route descriptions.

Looking back down P3, above its 160' of patina bliss, and impeccable double ropes management. 11 Feb 2022.
