A route overlay of Zowie.
Oct. 3 2020 first ascent of Wham to Zowie via slackline - all natural rig on the tower. The slackline is usually up and walked before first climbing party reaches the top. Some anchor annoyance for climbers at the top but will rarely be re-rigged.
Looking down the first rap from the summit, showing the bolts for the 2nd rap.
A panorama from the saddle behind Zowie.
Zowie as seen from the Andrews Glacier trail.
Looking up the descent gully between raps 2 and 3. The top of Zowie is on the right.
Zowie approach view.
Jen pointing out where the last very hard to spot rap anchors are. Down and to the right of the slinged chockstone.
The first 2 rappels. This is taken from the north side of the saddle. From the saddle, descend south (away from where this photo was taken). Zoom in, and you can see the rope on rap 2.
The final pitch... taken by my partner TL.
Closeup of the framed photos at Neptune Mountaineering of the first ascent of Zowie.
