S Butress, K Cracks
Climbed the S. Buttress (with K Cracks last pitch) as the first of three routes on three consecutive days in the Cirque. We had GREAT weather, and the climbing was super-relaxed. Alpine cragging!
The classic east face in The Fifty crowed routs of North America
Most of the routes in the Cirque are wonderful and this one is a clssic 5.8

Awesome climb!
A classic climb! We summited at about 12:30 avoiding a thunder storm by about 1/2 hour. I especially loved the upper pitches. See my trip report, if interested.

NE Face
Another of the Classics on a cloudless, beautiful day. Wish I had remembered the camera...d'oh! Excellent rock and elegant line.

NE Face
I wasn't feeling it that morning, but we got 'er done anyway. This time we did the last pitch to the NE summit. Once again we had this route to ourselves on a cloudless day. Then we watched crowds lined up on it for the rest of our time in the Cirque. Strange.
One of the best climbs at that grade that I've done. Killer views of Wolf's head, awesome weather, no mosquitos, no rain, good partner. What more do you want?

Impressive Towers
Attempted to do the climb from the trailhead in one day. Rapped off of Pitch 5- ran out of time. The area was very crowded with hikers, climbers, fishermen.

South ButtressEasy but beautiful climb on incredibly solid rock. It started showering/hailing as we topped out. NE Face, you're next.

Sweet RouteSE Buttress... Really awesome climb. Great quality rock. We did it in 4 pitches though... 8 seems like it would take forever.

South ButtressClimbed it twice the week I was there. Wished I had tried the K-Kracks? I love the granite

Northeast Face - Spectacular RouteAn amazing line up an even more impressive peak. Full value for the grade. Be wary of the easy chimney...
