Coming up the first pitch! We ended up stepping left to a roof then up and traversing left. I would continue past the traverse before building a belay for P1.
Tom C. on the first pitch of the Direct Second Buttress, a perfectly timed alpine start.
Pitch 5. Nate is just above the 5.9 crux of the pitch.
Pitch 4's corner.
Midway up pitch 2.

Is this the start? If so, I assume the "normal" is the corner on the left and the harder variation is the wet, black streak corner on the right? We started up this but it was covered in moss, wet, and awful. Not sure if we were on the right route.

Joe following an off-route variation to P2. After clearing the undercling and handcrack, continue traversing straight right for 30-40ft with well spaced gear. Your feet will be traversing the top a steep headwall. The traverse will deposit you on a sloping ledge with solid gear for an anchor. A great airy traverse...
