Pano shot high on Joy
The south summit ridge after topping out Joy. Head east (climbers right) at the first easy opportunity and follow a distinct trail up the scree side to get around to the next ridge.
2 climbers seconding with the initial pitches spilling out below. The scenery is nothing to scoff at on this climb!

Joy (5.6, 10 pitches, Mt. Indefatigable). Follow this dihedral all the way up! Do you see the climber at the start of the route?
Trail off the ridge of Joy. This is what you're looking for after topping out Joy and proceeding up the ridge for just a bit.
Joy and The Shining Path approach and scree descent
Joy and The Shining Path approach and descent. Bear Descent is approximate since we came down the scree shoot.
Ben proving JOYful moments on pitch 8 I believe, even if his TC's were killing him.
The 4th class scramble just below the summit ridge.
