Pitch 3 fun 5.7 climbing. (This is first pitch of DSB, just off upper ledge after the first 2 approach pitches).

Pitch 4. Long 4th class pitch on obvious ledge feature.

Start of Direct South Buttress (Pitches 3&4, directly above Upper Ramp) NOTE: Error in topo. See comments.

Pierce on the endless 5th class of South buttress

I took the route topo in the Ortenburger guide and added/corrected parts to it based on my experience climbing the route. This should make things more clear and up to date (e.g. many of the pins indicated in the earlier topo are now gone).

Another look at the double pendulum. Thin crack above is the aid section. Craig Bachman representing.

Pitch 5, the 5.8 corner option (alternative is to do a 4th class around to the left and up to top of corner).

Pitch 6. This terrain is sort of in-obvious. Follow the guidebook beta. Left then right.

Pointed flake on Pitch 9.
