Base area, with snow in July still
NurdWand on the North Face of Grouse Tor.
Brynn, cute as ever on a gorgeous day.
Skyler Cummins on the third pitch. This black streak is best to pass on the left if wet. Anchor is up then left above the blocky roofs seen on climber's left.
Last pitch to summit

Skyler sending summit bulge. Giant loose block below him, BEWARE.
North Face of Grouse Tor June 16th, 2020. NurdWand starts near the lowest snowfield, climbs well to the right of the large snowfield mid-face (White Spider) but traverses the higher small one (White Liger). The route finishes to the left of the trees.
