Climbers on Pitch 3 (Red Dihedral)

Scary, nasty descent. Best to be done while there is still daylight.

The hand crack on pitch 5 perfectly splits an otherwise clean, smooth face. Heaven!

Looking down from the belay at the base of the Shattered Pillar. The orange speck on the right side in the bushes is our tent!

Good water source in the center of the photo at the end of the large snowfield where the talus touches the bedrock.

the only description I can come up with is "How to f@ck up someone's experience on a crux pitch". A dickish move IMHO, cosidering that after 4 pitch there are many ways to pass a slower party.

Pitch 11 & 12 Chimney

Start of roped climbing to link p1-2 (per supertopo description). aug. 2016

Tight, even for a skinny lad like me!

SPLITTER

Climbing on the Red Dihedral. The namesake dihedral looms above.

Coming out of the key hole on the last pitch.

65 year-old Phil Bircheff topping out onto the ridge (P10) below the summit.

If you start just before the 5.8 bulge, a 70m will get you all the way to the dihedral.

At 6'5" I struggled *hard* to get through the "birth canal" exit to the summit. September 2007.

Looking down from middle of the eponymous pitch

Great climbing and great scenery on the Red Dihedral.

Time to be born again! Only have to get through this hole to get to the top!

Sending the memorable crux!

Rap anchor on the south ridge for the summit walk off as of 06/22/2024. Bolt on the left is new and the cord was in good shape.

Last linked pitch to the summit, just above the Class 3 walk from the notch.

The crux pitch - smoke from the fires turned everything yellowish (6 Sept 2020)
