Along the Pine Creek Trail.

Entering Pine Creek Canyon.




Working our way up the left fork of Pine Creek Canyon.



Lots of little obstacles and fun scrambling within the creek bed.

A wide section within the south fork of Pine Creek.


Eventually, we made it to the left turn that would take us up Terrace Canyon.

The start of Terrace Canyon's cool features.


Looking down at the start of Terrace Canyon's slickrock.

The break in the cliffs to gain the route to Terrace Canyon Peak. It's located a few hundred feet on the right from the mouth of the Terrace Canyon slickrock.

Looking down into Terrace Canyon on our way up into the cliff weakness.

Class 3+ scrambling.

Looking down the first bit of scrambling, Terrace Canyon below.

A chimney squeeze.

Helpful fixed line after the chimney squeeze. It seemed silly that there was a rope here, and not for the section near the summit, which was far more dangerous and difficult, in my opinion.

At the top of the fixed line, working our way up, following cairns.

The route heads into these rocks.

Carl visible on the right navigating the Class 3 scrambling.

Our turn-around look-out spot, Terrace Canyon on the right. This is the last photo from the first attempt.

This is the first photo from my second attempt at the route, where I came from the south and started descending. Refer to my trip report above for info as to why. Note that there are missing photos between the last picture and this one. I took this photo so you can see, based on the surrounding cliffs, how much I skipped. This section pictured was a particularly exposed Class 4/5 slab that I didn't want to descend.

This cliff is located right behind me in the previous photo. It's the steep, sketchy section. I used the tree as an anchor to set up a handline, but I believe most people who do this route scramble up the right side. I was just super scared, and decided not to descend any farther.

At the tree I used as an anchor. You can see how exposed and steep this section is.

Above the crux, looking south toward Terrace Canyon Peak summit.
