Expect at least this many people on sunny summer weekends after the snow is gone.

Start of 2nd pitch

Starting the first pitch of the Beckey Route. Taken Sept 2019.

The short slab near the top of the Beckey Route. Might be harder than 5.6? It's a boulder problem, but you wouldn't want to blow it. I'd do a quick belay if there are any doubts for any member of the team, especially when downclimbing.

This shot shows the chimney system. It's really fun climbing.

Don't forget to take in the "small" views as well.

Two Climbers on Liberty Bell

The block above the end of the roof traverse on P3 seems to be slightly loose. It was fine when I pulled up on it with my hands today (9/23/17) but when I matched a foot on top of it and went to stand up it wiggled. Use caution and be aware of freeze-thaw conditions.

Rappelling down it is easy to miss the 2nd (last) set of chains - they are closer than you think: on the first sandy ledge with trees - don't go past them (as happened to me and 2 other parties after me).
