Looking down at the second half of P3, which is deliciously airy and exposed feeling. This part is sustained 5.8+ with really great movement. Notice the old piton and the sketchy buttonhead bolt on route, neither of which looked as attractive as my own gear.

Gabe following up P3, what I felt to be the mental crux of the route (especially when its raining).

Buddy's photo from the top of Orbit.
Looking down the "sIt start" to pitch 1 of Orbit. Avoids the BS gully and links nicely into the standard start of the first pitch, making it nearly 60M. Bring an extra small cam or two (purple C3) and/or micro nuts for this little gem.
Nate Rice on Pitch 3
Looking down from belay 2 at the delightful 5.9 finger crack system that begins after a leftward traverse. You can also see the scramble gully (p0 in the route description) in the background.

Small runout around P3 arete. good angle of the amazing pointy arete holds.
