Here's Marta, coming up to finish our 3rd pitch (could be the finish of a second pitch). The Cwm/Last Peak saddle jut out of the shade in the far upper right of the photo. From here one could scramble to the summit, we stayed roped up because we just didn't know.

Topo of the route, as viewed from the summit of the Citadel.
Sorry 'bout the fingers in the picture, I couldn't shade the camera from the sun and keep my fingers out. Anyhow, photo shows the middle of the route, If done in 3 pitches, P1 out of view, and P3 goes behind the ridge where the line ends (taken from the Cwm/Last peak Saddle). The harder variation I mention climbs the clean looking ridgeline right of the red line.

Marta Reece leads out on our second pitch after leaving the big ledge, there's some steep but easy (5.5) climbing with good exposure.
