Looking up the route from directly below. Train-track cracks in the middle of the photo. If you zoom in and/or look closely, you can see the rope hanging and a few pieces of gear here and there. Note that the deathblock one-third of the way up is gone.

First good view of Tumble on the approach trail. Train-track cracks in the middle of the photo. If you zoom in and/or look closely, you can see the rope hanging and a few pieces of gear here and there. The deathblock one-third of the way up is now gone.
