Traversing the snowpatch below the Gnomon. Once the snow is gone, this is a rubble ledge.
Randy Stoltmann Tower backside from the summit plateau rim. Rappel stations (webbing and fixed pins) marked. Plan on bringing extra webbing and extra pitons!

Henrik a pitch from the summit of Randy Stoltmann Tower, with the logging roads far below.
Dug seconding the last pitch (p8) before the snow traverse. The nice easy crack ends here and you have to make some steeper moves onto an apparently unprotected face. Good horizontal cam placement partway up as seen here.
Henrik and Jesse low on the route, pitch 4. Henrik is about to start moving left out of the gully, up to the belay ledge I'm on.
