Topo with some retreat options marked.

Totally bomber pro from one of my early forays onto Squaw Peak.

Squaw Peak from Y Mountain

Nice shade right before the 12th pitch

Me topping out at the summit. Too stoked to get my shoes off.

A view of Guy at the cave with another group headed up pitch 12.

The "crux" pitch 14 linked into 15 (although I felt a couple other pitches were perhaps more technical than pitch 14).

Pitches 3-8. Couple of parties are visible at the top of pitch 6.

Near the top - Pitch 22 of Squawstruck

Approach beta: wait till after Pa's Mother to turn left at the Boulder in red, then [roughly] follow the pink line up to P1 (blue line)

Flapper 1 of 5 on this climb. Bring your A-game, bring motivation, bring ibuprofen, and BRING TAPE!

*Note that it can also come in handy if your old shoes randomly decide to rip in half with 12 pitches to go...

Pitch two. Fun blocky climbing to a corner which demands good footwork.

Tristan after the leap of faith headed up pitch 2.

Tristan moving up to the rest before the hard crux of pitch 14. This was the high point on our FA attempt.

The cave/mine at the base of pitch 12 is a great place to have lunch in the shade.

Thomas Gappmayer at the belay on top of pitch 22. Success!

Alexis Crellin after Pitch 14 roof.

My favorite pitch in the first 8: Frosted Flakes. Just look at how white the limestone is! And it is very solid with great holds and a fantastic roof with a perfect jug for pulling.

Tristan and Thomas on pitch 16, taken from the trail.

cant remember what pitch this was, not far from the summit though. did this november 4th of 2023 and was perfect climbing conditions. about 15 hours car to car and 13 hours on the wall

3AM top-out!

There are several different walls on this route. Even though we studied the topo beforehand, we got lost looking for the summit wall at night (it's much further to the right than I thought). Bring headlamps and be ready to climb at night!

View from the top

Best thing I've done in the 4 times I've done this route: write down the links with their bolt counts and lengths on my phone so I didn't have to constantly open my phone or unfold my topo.

Approach beta pic.

Can't miss the diving board atop pitch 8, make sure to wave to the hikers
