Third pitch starts up the left-facing corner. Pro is available, just wasn't placed by this leader to minimize rope drag.

Me leading P2 of The Last Will Be First. You can see there's ample gear leading up to the crux overhang if you stay close enough to the corner. <br> <br> EDIT: I now think I was probably NOT on-route for The Last Will Be First, although the route I took was well-protected and nice! Check out the next photo, where I put in the lines for where I think the routes actually go. Let me know what you think.

This is the second pitch. If at any point you're left of the left-facing corner, you've gone off route.

At Last! I'm putting this up mainly because on at least two different occasions after reading the route description in the grey Williams Guide I've ended up at the base of [[Lost and Found]]106555418 thinking that it was the start of Last Will be First.
Tomas on the start of The Last will be First... still no pro.
Look for this distinctive "double tree" to more easily find the base of "The Last Will Be First." The start is just to climber's right of this tree.
You know, looking at the photos in both Williams' and Swain's books, I think I was off-route. Enlarge this photo to see where I think the routes actually go. The path I took to the notch seems not to be on ANY of the routes in the area, although it is well protected and nice! I'd be interested in input from others.
Last move of pitch 2. Amazing views and some fun exposure.
Great top out on last will be first!
