Looking down the last wide pitch. Wasn't all that hard I thought, but certainly really fun! That being said, 2x #6 would have been nice for this pitch as you can't bump only 1 really. 11/20/21

#1 (blue) ballnut to protect the runout start. I'm 90% sure this would hold but I wouldn't want to test it. You're still looking at groundfall if you blow the .9/10- moves right before the flake.

My homie following while I take in the excellent vantage atop P4. 11/20/21

The R rated start. We used a red AND blue ballnut which would prevent falling all the way down the gully but would not prevent a ground fall onto the ledge.

Matt in search of a V0 warmup on the Honeycomb Boulder....we hiked past this a good 5 or so minutes before finding easy slabs up.

P5 can be done without any offwidth technique. But OW gear is necessary for protecting it.

This setup deeply satisfied my nerdy climbing systems brain. Double girth hitch, sliding X with limiting knots, locking carabiner. Next step, don't test it.

Dow further up P3

Topo with original pitch grades. I thought the first pitch was 5.9+ and the third 5.10b. Trip report on tenthousandtoofar.com. A variation to P4 stays in the corner at 5.9.

The wall...in all its cloud-embraced glory. Adventure Punks to the right of the huge corner. Challenger on the left wall around the corner.

Pitch four. This route is bad ass.
