Wigwam from the trail.
ID 121738423 · · Copyright Violation?
Jack at the last piece of gear in the dihedral crack, about to traverse over to the cracks on the right side of the face. The belay is at the base of the 5.9 finger crack.
This is one of the easier ways to start P1. Climb up to the tree growing out of the crack to begin. If you go climber's left of this image so the tree is to your right when standing at the base, you may encounter the first of the slab run-outs that I mentioned in my comment. It's easily viewed from the ground as the obvious weakness fizzles (not seen in this photo).

Gina having a good time in the not so windy corner pitch on Trail of Tears.
Looking up the start of P1. Follow the thin seam into the mini-dihedral. We started the climb from here vs. the alternate side approach. <br> <br> Posted by Tracy Warneke.
Eds. NOT THE ORIGINAL ROUTE. <br> <br> The route we took to the top. We missed our first belay making us miss the second as well forcing us to run out the second pitch and absorb the third!
The top of pitch 4.
The red line indicates the route depicted in the Hubbel guide.
The money pitch.
The "5.9" crack (we thought more like 5.7).

Fatty runouts if you avoid the upper crack.
A topo as in the Trout guidebook.
