Looking down from Pitch 3

Steort's Ridge and the route we took

Repelling the first pitch

1) Tiger's Den 2) East Dihedrals 3) Jig's Up 4) Steort's Ridge

Looking down the length of the ridge from the top of the last pitch.

Some exposure while starting the third pitch.

Awesomely exposed out on the arete

Piton at belay 3

Shows how run out the last pitch is before (and after) the bolt. Bolt is kinda hard to see. Good thing it's 5.easy!
