Ben leading North Face Center, Cob Rock.

The base of the route.

Finishing the second pitch. Note and beware of the huge detached flake behind my belayer.

Looking up at most of the route, you can see pretty much up to the first belay.

North Face Center From Blob Rock.

Climbers, beware of ferocious beasts on the summit.

Traverse to get to Cob Rock.

Leif is getting tired and grumpy, starting second pitch.

Coming up to a great belay perch about 110' up.

The fun step across to the final pitch at the top of pitch 1 or 2 depending on how you do it.

Clint Locks on top of second pitch of North Face Center.

That start of the climb.

Christa Cline leading the crux hand crack on the first pitch.

This is the V-notch exit from the belay. It is easy (although I would call it more than 5.0) and saves the crack finish for Empor.

The route proper takes the green line, I believe. If you take the red line, be prepared for a large and somewhat thin step-over onto the P1 belay ledge.

Near the top of the first pitch.

Peter Dillon nearing the airy belay pedestal at the end of the first pitch.

Cob Rock, First Pitch 50 feet up.

P1 belay is marked with the black oval. The green line highlights the route proper, I believe. The red line is tempting but forces a large step-over at the top, to meet up with the green line.

Eds. The typically used belay is actually higher.

Don Owens stepping right to gain the first belay ledge ~10 feet above him. Note how well the crack takes pro on the first pitch.
