Had not climbed SP in many years, I kept to the wyde - thanks to Silver for leading that 'chossy' variation. Strange how one's perception of looseness changes after leading multiple pitches of frozen kitty litter. Speedy recovery wishes to Nour!

I helped out the paramedics/SAR carry stretchers and bags to the base/top of the climb. Climber dislodged a loose rock which hit her in the head. Have no idea how she's doing now, hope she's OK

Great picture Brian. My picture and video is about 20' above the top climber in your pic, and the large loose looking rocks are hidden behind the largish bush. That's where we made the 'unintuitive step left' although the leader went up a bit first, and then downclimbed back when he found he hated it.

We did the traverse left about 20ft above where the climber is in that pic. Probably a 5.5 traverse and puts you right at the base of the crack on the face. Actually worked out real nice. Rock is a bit rotten for that 20ft but not loose
