Inti Watana to Resolution Arete (view)

Leading one of the pitches (right off the belay) of Inti Watana. We finished this route with the top of Resolution Arete, and descended into First Creek Canyon. This made for a pretty long day, with ~2 hours of (up to) 4th class approach and somewhere around 10 hours of climbing. The actual climbing was ~2500 feet, about 13 belayed pitches, a couple of pitches basically moving the belay to a new ledge system, and then another ~100 meters of easy simu-climbing. The descent was not obvious or well marked, and we did most of it in the dark, with lots of back-tracking from cliff edges, boulder hopping, and bush-whacking.
