This shows the trail that you should take to get to the Seal from the NCAR parking lot.

Base of the route. Correct start will be on the northeast of the formation. If you continue up the trail to the left, beware starting up the seal on the southeast of the formation as this is the detached formation The Pup.

North face rappel station as of 15Aug09. Sorry for the weird perspective.

The obvious climber's trail that leads up to Seal Rock. Cairned when we were there.

This is the route we took, with approximate belay locations and the rap chains. Climbing more to the right at the start would have been more aesthetic, perhaps, but there didn't appear to be very good pro, so we stuck to the trees.

Picnic on the ridge, summit pitch in the background.

Said feeling the exposure on Seal Rock.

Rapping off the East Face North Side after the pitch with the "distinctive vertical crack." I believe the rap station is also that for Sea of Joy. (Photo by James Burns.)

If there is any dispute as to what the rap anchor looks like... Taken 10/8/07

A fixed pin on the north edge of one of the upper pitches...probably at least 25 years old
