There are a few options for pitch 3. Either climb one of these crack systems, or climb the crack on the outside of the face on the right, out of view in the photo. The crack to the right is the route described in the guidebook.
working through the opening moves of P3. If this picture was wider, the left side of the frame would show the wide cracks. They didn't look appealing to me, and this face (where the fixed pin is) was super exposed and fun.
