Rysiek Ligas on P2 ramp. 6/18/21.

At the crux (THE Bulge) on pitch 3.

Dan Howell on the 2nd pitch traverse.

Peter Dillon at the end of the traverse to the right on pitch 2. From here, Peter will climb up and angle back left onto a ramp.

Unknown climbers on the 2nd pitch.

Darin Lang surveys the first pitch of The Bulge.

Unknown climbers on P2 belay of the Bulge, 8/27/06.

Ernie at the belay at end of P3.

Jenny Ball pitch 2.

Peter Dillon getting onto the left-angling ramp on pitch 2. There's a 5.4 step-up move here, then an easy runout to the anchor.<br>

This move is more dangerous for the follower, since they would take a big swing if they fell off.

Starting P2.

Peter Dillon starting the direct finish on pitch 4. The protection is good and the moves are 5.7 at most.
