Graveyard of old-style #4s in the chimney/squeeze of pitch 3.

Directissima route.

Yager finishing out the last pitch.

OW Squeeze chimney on Directissima, P3.

Eric Rosenblum on Directissima.

An old bolt (made with sawn piton) to give an uncertain sense of protection on the wide section on pitch 3. There are some old cams to clip as well. Plus just bring a #4.

Jesse pulling some steep, enjoyable face moves on P3 before the squeeze chimney section of Directissima.

Greg starting P3. There's an airy section moving right past these flakes.

The comfy yet tight belay stance for the fourth pitch.

Greg near the top of the last pitch.

The start of the squeeze chiminey on the 3rd pitch.

Starting the first pitch (and the infamous ass shot).

Mike working off the 2nd pitch.

Mike entering what we thought was the crux of the fourth pitch. Mike also asking Kevin, "hey do these new Patagoochie pants make my ass look fat?" Kevin responded, No your face does." DEEEEEEP!

An old pin on pitch 3.

Starting up pitch 4. This route has an position beside the towering Diamond.

An old bolt on pitch 4. Not really necessary if you have a #4.

Chimney/squeeze on pitch 3.

Pulling through the small roof just after the stance in this photo was the crux of Pitch 4 in my opinion. Nice exposure as you look down to place the left foot over the roof.

The upper section of pitch 2.
