The blue line - approach to buttress. The yellow dots - the main route & blue circles mark approximate belays. The green dots - alternate start that adds a pitch of M4-5 in a corner system. Traversing a snow bench is required to rejoin the main line.

JD on the approach.
Jonathan White dropping down the ramp that starts the excellent and efficient descent from the top of pitch 4 of Enter The Dragon, as described by Ben Collett on the route comments. Look for the large boulder shown in this photo.

The lower circle shows where most people finish this route. The upper circle shows the top of what most people think of as "Dragontail Spire." Topping out on Flattop involves climbing that whole upper wall above.
Looking down pitch 4, I think.
Will F. on Enter The Dragon. I think we were off route.
Crusin' steep snow in between chimneys.
This was our second pitch. You can make out where my belay was from how the picture is taken. I believe we started on the gully system to the right of where ETD truly starts. Steve (climbing in photo) had to an easy traverse to climbers left to get in to ETD's 2nd or maybe 3rd pitch.
