Looking up at what would become the cluster, early morning. |
|
|
|
Looking a bit scared at bivy 1 (pitch 2 anchors) |
|
|
|
No, we didn't just get off of Nutcracker |
|
|
|
Down to the East Ledges! |
|
|
|
Happy to have found some abandoned water |
|
|
|
Look Shaun, there's your truck! |
|
|
|
Where's the rack? Oh there it is on the ground! |
|
|
|
The lurking fear has been vanquished! |
|
|
|
Spot the climber perhaps a third of the way up on the arete |
|
|
|
Final anchors of the official route |
|
|
|
An awesome bivy spot - Shaun sleeping soundly on my mat (his was at the bottom of the route...oops) |

Giving thanks on Thanksgiving Ledge |
|
|
|
Hard off-width leading to Thanksgiving Ledge |
|
|
|
The upper pitches of Lurking Fear: don't get caught here in a rainstorm |
|
|
|
The scene of Shaun's exciting off-route adventure |
|

Cleaning the traverse on pitch 12 |

|
Day two self-portrait. Enjoying the cooler temperatures. |
|
|
|
Pitch 11. A blown fixed head had a bolt next to it |
|
|
|
My first real aid lead! |
|
|
|
Sunset from the bivy ledge at 10/11 |
|
|
|
Shaun was in even worse shape |
|
|
|
Obligatory self-portrait at belay 8 (or 9?) on the first day after blasting. Hot and a little tired...mostly just hot. |
|
|
|
In to the wide! |
