Mark and Tara pause on the path to the One-Two gully. Yes, that's snow on the ground and Mark in a T-shirt.
Mark is at the crux. It's not tough, but it has that nice committing feel when you leave the security of the chimney and step onto the face.
Tara styles up the lower section.
Pat, our fearless leader of the day, sets his first piece of gear. He looks like he's in the sun, but it's a trick of light. The crack was cold and it was a chilly belay.
We didn't climb
Grace Note, but both climbs start the same. You begin in the crack/chimney to the left, step right onto the face and head to the crack on the right; follow the crack up to the notch. For Grace Note, you spiral around the back of the spire to the left. It seems like there's a bush you have to climb through. For
Sharp, head up the ridge to the right. It's very fun, but could stand to have some permanent anchors. Mark donated his 30 foot cordalette for us to wrap around the spire to rap off of. There are no pictures of the summit because I ran out of batteries.
