Tony on the seldom-done last pitch to the Upper Ramp. Supposedly 5.9, the move out of the corner--straight left from the anchor bolts above the roof crux--past the fixed pin visible at the bottom of the photo, felt harder to me than the P1 face. In fact, I fell following here and dropped back down to the lip of the roof due to rope stretch.

After standing at the lip, it's over. Except for some pretty hard 5.9 moves.

On a different day. Notice the Lost Arrow Piton just above my hand. I think Roger Briggs placed it there after the big flake broke off. This photo is from 1980, I think.

Stretching to clip the second bolt. Lisa had to tape a biner open to make this clip.

The third crux--the moves left to the intermediate belay bolts. Much harder than it looks at first. Perhaps the real crux of the climb.

Crankin' jugs.

The move past the second bolt is one of the several cruxes.

Moving left to the midway anchors and beyond to the rest is THE crux for me.

Above the roof. Strenuous 5.9 from here to the anchors.
