If you're lucky, this will be wet and you can do one of the variations to the left or right.

At the top of the P2 crux. I ended up at the top of the rounded left-facing corner and had to stem back left. The lower of the two P2 belay stances is just to my left.<br> <br> Photo by Chuck Graves.
Just above the start of the P2 crux section. Balancing left from here on good footholds but not much for your hands with gear down and right is exciting. Good gear to come in the right facing corner. It may be possible and more straightforward to just climb the corner on the left.<br> <br> Photo by Chuck Graves.

Routes on the Wall of Winter Warmth. Left Side route is the dotted line.

After the hardest moves on the Black Groove, but not having fun yet. It's hard to get out from here onto the right "arete". Very rounded and overhanging to get to this point.
The Blue line is my first attempt to climb left side. It was an adventure. The gear was sparse.<br> <br> The red line was my second attempt. It was a little closer I think.<br> <br> Green line is the third climb. We rapped in from the top, since the boulder falls approach was closed. Then the black groove was wet so I traversed right before moving up along some sport route. The third pitch was run out and pulled over a 9+/10- roof.<br> <br> You can go wherever the hell you want on that third pitch!
Midway up pitch 4.
The start of pitch 2, the black water groove pitch.
Midway up pitch 3.
Will leading the exposed and fun start of pitch 4.
Will cruising up The Slit. This is often climbed as pitch 1 of Left Side.
Chuck after moving left on P3. Gear is good where it needs to be. There is a bit of hard climbing in one of the cracks above Chuck. The Angle of Repose Anchors are below the roofs at the top of the photo. You can continue to the top by skirting the roofs on the right.
