Climber on the fist crack seen from the belay
Last pitch option (recommended by Seth Handy and many others in the comments). On the right side of the chockstone ledge. Fun way to finish the route!

Our approach and pitch breakdown.
Pitch 2 pitch 3 ends next to that huge roof. Definitely not 200 feet to link pitch 1 and 2 at most 150.

picture was taken at the start of the first pitch. The party ahead of us is starting the second pitch. Pitch 2 through 4 can be seen in the photo. Great route and a great start to 5.11 in the alpine.
