The business on pitch 4: transitioning from this position to an undercling is the crux move. The short undercling turns the roof just above Dave's right foot.

Looking up the first pitch of Cannonball Corner, with the entire route above. The last hard lead pulls the big roofs at the rim, straight above Dave's head.
The view from the spectacular perch atop Pitch 5, looking down the entire route. Lots of good climbing on this one, but lots of loose flakes and heads-up climbing, too. Pitch 5, for one, begins with a real garbage fest, starting about 10 feet above the belay.

The traverse on Pitch 5, above all the loose flakes: The traverse wasn't too bad, despite the soaking wet hand and foot holds, but the big overhang afterward felt like 5.11 with our cold, wet hands.
Pitch 2 of Cannonball Corner. The crux roofs of Pitch 4 are straight above, in the right-facing alcove.
