Leading up Pitch 8 (the wide pitch), looks harder then it actually is.

Starting into the crux of pitch 4. Fun, exposed moves to move past the bulge where the crack peters out for ~20 ft.

Finishing up pitch 6. The exposure is incredible!

Starting into the crux of pitch 4. Fun, exposed moves to move past the bulge where the crack peters out for ~20 ft.

Heading up P7. Engaging, exposed, and rediculously fun.

The spectacular climbing and position on pitch 8. Brilliant!

Out on the Pitch 7 crux traverse. Amazing pitch!

Heading up the short P5, easily linked with P6 with an 80. (Probably doable with a 70, too)

Climber nearing the anchors of P3. Several options to reach the anchors, all involving a traverse right at some point after passing the last bush. Can continue up main crack, or branch off to one of two other cracks.

Heading up the first 10+ pitch, pitch 4. Steep, sustained, engaging with a fun crux pulling through the bulge in the pale rock.

Leading the Pitch 7 Traverse, amazing!

Looking up from the base. Climber about to move left after finishing the most awkward part of P1. Majority of route can be seen, going almost center line up, passing the roof just on the right hand side.
