Exiting the Bypass
At the top of this rock band (out of the shadow) is the slabby area that climbers ascend after exiting the Double Chimney. The slabby area sits between the Owen Chimney & the DC. And it's to the south of the DC Bypass.
Here you can see the slabby area above the DC Bypass. The sun is shining on it.
The far eastern side of the DC Bypass. It's one exit variation.
