Gary Molzan leading the first 5.9+ pitch.

Cynical Pinnacle from the Dome. Pretty incredible scenery all around.

Cindy on the last pitch.

Pat McCarthy on P2 traverse. 2018.

Too Tall clipping too many?

View of the Dome on the Way Up. Chuck Graves and Kenny Parker.

Chuck Graves still moving up on Pitch 4. Pretty exciting and thin at this point.

P3 of Topo Oceans passes up through a water groove (see dark streak) and up past a few bolts on slightly easier (5.8) ground to anchors below a large number of bolts marking the final crux pitch.

Climbers on pitch 2.

Giles getting a no hands and feet rest at the crux. The key to friction is more surface area.

Kate following the final pitch on Topo Oceans. Rad!!!

Starting the traverse of Pitch Two. Pretty exciting.

Chuck Graves climbing thru the crux of Pitch 4.

The Bishop, as seen from the Dome appraoch.

Anne on the opening sequence.

One more shot of the fun 2nd pitch.

Chuck Graves on Pitch 2.

Anne Carrier on the first pitch, after the initial roof move.

Route begins in lower left and diagonals up and to the right towards the final headwall after crossing the prominent water groove.

Anne climbing and Gary belaying.

Gary on Topographical Oceans.

Gary Molzan high on second pitch of Topographical Oceans.

Anne Carrier on first pitch.

Early morning at the Dome.

Chuck Graves starting up last pitch - 14 bolts - steep and hard.

Chuck masters the last pitch.The final pitch has more bolts, a little over body length apart, but climbing is steeper and feels thinner. It's also sustained with little or no opportunity to rest those aching calf muscles.

P2 of Topo Oceans, which is now equipped entirely of modern harware. There is certainly a psychological crux from the point that Charlie is at now, until reaching the anchors (2 or 3 more bolts).

Anne Carrier, pulling the 5.9+ roof on the first pitch.

Start of the 2nd pitch, just before the first bolt (there's only 6 to the farther anchors, about 140+ ft). Fun! Fun! Fun! The good stuff.
