My wife, Marie Carlson, taking a well-earned rest at the Pitch 13 anchors after lugging a pack up the Ascent/Descent Ramp and crossing a fixed line on Pitch 14 during route development (2021). The Broken Sidewalk is just behind her.

With permission from Andrew Noh. Arriving at the top of P5, which is a pleasant flat area atop a blunt arete. A great place to rest the feet!

With permission from Andrew Noh. The beginning of the last steep bulge before the P2 anchors. It already has an exposed feel here, but is well protected.

At the very top!

Here is a picture of the decent route. The hike down is definitely a bit steep. Be cautious as there are some drop offs if you go the wrong way.

Pitch 12 route-finding. After hiking across the Dance Floor, walk into and then climb up through this short, easy chimney.

Route-finding on Pitch 12. After climbing up through the short, easy chimney, double back through this narrow slot-chimney. This leads to the large pine tree shown in the Pitch 13 photo.

The upper half of the Easy Street Slab pitch shifts to the North side of the Buttress to avoid this enormous block which appears to be loose and precariously balanced on top of the smaller chockstone.

Pitch 6

A more recent, post cleaning photo. Graveyard Shift begins between 2 small roofs in the foreground. The summit in the morning light is where the absolutely stellar pitch 7 is. Used with permission of Michelle Carlson
