The beauty and grace of alpine climbing

Grassy Ledges Approach. Looks improbable from afar but is easy (when dry).

Hand traverse. One of the easier traverses, as friction on the slab is good.

East Ridge of Wolf's Head from Pingora

First tower traverse on south side. Moving into the chimney towards Piton Pitch. Tagging the pack off belay loop here was helpful. Was able to link this into Piton without too much rope drag.

Pingora and the east ridge from the peak.
