From lower la cueva, a view from our campsite the day before our climb.

Started after a 2 hour bushwack on the east side of the toe. Here rob climbs the wide gravely first pitch

Here rob climbs the corner on the third pitch. Passing an ancient ring piton he placed a nut and ran out the final 35 over akward 5.7/8 climbing. I opted for the more straight forward and aesthetical knobs tothe right. Killer pitch.

here I am way up at the top combining pitches 4 and 5 with a little simul climbing. I called this the enduro pitch because all it seemed I was doing was stemming smears on the side walls. Very tiring.

after a bit of 4th class soloing, we started the final 500 ft to the summit

Rob combined pitches 10 & 11 for one long 225 ft pitch 7. My expression is exactly how i felt

Rob joining me on the summit as the rains bears down.

Here is a hand drawn topo I drew after being confused by so many others of the route. I look at this one and can only think it is confusing also. O well. Descent from the summit includes 3-4 raps with a 60 m

Grey Huey tops out on the 5.8 variation, the last 5th class pitch of the climb. We thought this variation pitch was the best pitch of the climb. A low angle dihedral with good jams that finishes up as a blocky vertical good holds finish, all with adequate gear placements and good rock.

Tadz works up Pitch 2. There is a spitter crack 30 feet to the right which you can not see in this photo. My guess is that it goes as 5.9 but did not dot he variation. This variation, combined with many others would likely make the route awesome
