a good route to get engaged on

Top of 1st pitch

North Ridge Upper Pitch and Belay

Not an easy climb to find. Approach is 25-30 mins from parking lot. After passing most other climbs you'll come across this tree on your left. The rough trail to the left of it takes you up 20 ft to the base of the climb on a large ledge.

View from base

Toping out the first pitch of North Wall, Table Rock.

Sunset on the North Ridge - simply spectacular!

The North Ridge

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.

Starting off on the first pitch. Delicious, easy climbing!

Wrapping up the first pitch

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

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