Photos of climbers on Pingora, via two different routes, on 22 August, 2004. There were three parties that I spotted, although one of them never got to a photogenic spot. Weather came in thick and fast about 11am, and all parties were in retreat when I decided I should get moving too.
Party 1 (red helmet and dark clothes, and white helmet and light clothes) were starting up the South-East face, but seemed to get into trouble with nasty belays, hard climbing, and never got past the first pitch. I hope you got all your gear back fellas.
Party 2 (two blue jackets, two white helmets) were on the North-East Ridge, and were quite high before I even spotted them, they seemed to be moving well, but then bogged down, and just aterthat, the weather came in.
Party 3 (red jacket, red helmet, and white helmet) were following party 2, but started descending about the same time as the others did.
