Great view and position in the "niche" before the horn. Establishing on the horn was trickier than expected, and the moves off it easier IMO.

Sorry Chris M.

Thi-Ly Hayes climbing up into the big recess that leads to the True Horn. You can see almost the entire "The Edge" with a red sling at the infamous beay, and also visible is "The Last Judgement", which takes the crack with that bush.

How not to have an epic on Traitor Horn.

Looking down from atop the true horn.

Broke ankle on fall from crack next to true horn. Rappelled to ground using pitons before crux as well as the anchors for The Edge (70m rope).

Chris gets down to business on the true horn.

Grab life by the horns

Did you climb it if you didn't get a horn shot??

Good place to belay if linking from Coffin Nail.

Starting the traverse from Coffin Nail under the "Traitor Horn".

#2 ball nut right before hitting the true horn. BTW, that rock angle is all off with the wide angle lens. It's a bit steeper.
