New route up the West Buttress AKA the Golden Pillar of AW and a new route up Cherubim Dome's BEAUTIFUL South Face!

Named the one on AW Killing In The Name Of (V. Musiyenko, A. Ferro and L. Stefurak) and it went at 5.11+ A2. Bailed on the first attempt with Luke half way up the wall, but took photos from the peak across, pieced together the puzzle and came back with Adam to complete the face in a BURLY day last week.
Took a rest day and climbed a nice line up the Cherubim, also with Adam Ferro - Dark Angels Have More Fun - (5.9+ R). GREAT ROUTE!

Other new route climbed with Luke Stefurak on our previous trip is also AWESOME and is on the Prism - Monkeys In the Clouds (IV 5.10). Directly up the middle of the face - obvious giant OW that required about an hour of gardening to begin the route! But is clean now. Probably no one will repeat till PellucidWombat gets healthy, or Jaybro starts hiking...or Alexy?! :)

VALHALLAAAAAAAA!

Dips in Hamilton lakes, beautiful peaks and BROWNIES from Bearpaw Campground!
What sucks is the approach...without donkeys at least, it is tough. But does I am a liar, it does not suck - scenic as it gets!

This is some of the best new work anywhere on Earth. For some time.

Can't wait to get up there again.

Fantastic area, but that pink lettering against the blue sky on your topo is hard for me to read Vitaly.

Blurry pink/red/green against blue is caused by excessive JPG compression (to reduce file size) when the image is stored on supertopo.
There's a clear version on mountain project:
