Sam leading pitch 6. We anchored the end of the pitch from near the piton marked with an X in the photo. The crux of the route was protected with a BD#3, circled in the photo. Its worth bringing the #3 for this part.
Start: (Lat: 38.982028, Lon: -77.242920) <br> End: (Lat: 38.980706, Lon: -77.239988) <br> *Please note these are approximations based on the best information available*
Chris leading the second pitch, right before the crux. Photo taken from the belay ledge.
Moving through the crux to the belay ledge.
Last pitch after 3rd/4th section. From here, hike downstream to Difficult Run trail and back to car.
First attempt in 2009. Route in Blue (we escaped after pitch 2 and headed up) Green shows the rest of the route as we believe it goes.
