Looking down pitch 5 at the reachy bolt ladder. That's one blank steep face!

Richard happy to be into a bolt. That is his happy face.

Pitch 6

Looking up pitch 5. The reachy bolt ladder starts just after the crack peters out on the blank face.

Looking down pitch 4.

On the decent. The prow is the wall in the background.

P2. Don't move right on this pitch, go left to the anchors under the roof.

Sunset on the summit. Just enough light left to get down the NDG following an in a day ascent.

definitely no stoke to be found

Tapir Terrace, looking at the rest of the route. BTW I went right to some old bivy anchors. So we had to shuttle our bags over left to get back under the route.

This is about the last aid move on the route followed by some 5.6-5.7 scrambling to the summit.
