North Ridge Upper Pitch and Belay

Fixed anchors at the top of the North Ridge's first pitch, as of November 2010. The pins look good and the cordlette looks new. Thanks to whoever placed this.

Near the top of pitch 2. My belayer is on the ledge at the top of the long pitch 1.

Looking down the glorious second pitch in primo evening sun.

Wrapping up the first pitch

Looking up at the thin crack that I thought was the overall crux (on the second pitch).
