Nearing the anchor.

Right hand crimp, left hand to pocket, left foot up, and stand!

Judy Karpeichik at the high crux. This involves a huge reach to a jug. Or, if you don't have the reach, locking off on a horrible hold to reach the jug.

Thom about to head into some fine climbing.

After you stand up on your free foot, there's a good right hand above. AdamShep cruising the first crux.

JJ looking up at the next 90 feet of superb climbing.

Right hand sloper, delicately reach left up to jug, match, and enjoy.

This is Rye, AdamShep's dog. Watching him onsight both cruxes!

A good place to depump!

I feel like this is the most strenuous move with small foot holds, pump, and a giant reach.

JJ mailing the three finger slot of the first crux with the left hand.

JJ at the starting jugs of the first crux.

JJ crossing over and getting into the undercling.

Stand up, and cross to good hold. Make next clip, and continue up the fun.

Right hand, three finger slot. Left hand push off. Right foot on small arete knob. Power through. Get left foot up, flagging right foot to stand. Such a fun crux.

My rendition of the crux.

Clipping the first bolt.
