Coming up I believe pitch 4 or 5. The Grass Hummock pitch. Known for its globs of dirt and high alpine grass clumps that are logded in the crack as you climb.

Slogging gear to the base of the NE Butt for a 6am start. We also scoped our line. Awesome view of route.

Rappeling the east face of Pingora from a day on the NE Butt. You get a good view of the East Face, K Cracks, and Wolfs head.

Starting out on the line of the Metal Physics. One of the best 5.7s Ive ever done.

Straight and linear. A must do climb for the 5.7 leader and even the 5.10.

Looking back at the NE Ridge of Pingora one of the most beautiful climbs I have ever done. Our day started just like this but ended with the typical Wind River afternoon storms. Good thing we started the route at 6am sharp.
