The wide double cracks on pitch 2.

This is the 2nd fantastic crack on the 2nd pitch. You reach this after you climb the steep, right slanting crack from the large ledge. <br> You follow this to it's end and then traverse left into a wider and easier crack. You can take the wider crack instead, it's a lot easier.
Pitch Three. The steep slanting crack is below me and I'm on the arete. Photo by Natalie Makardish

Donny and Natalie at a block in the air. Excellent belay spot. The photo was taken after the traverse on Pitch 4.

Head-on view of the route showing the widening vertical crack from "P1 option 1" start.
First pitch follows the line of least resistance up to the belay ledge indicated by red circle. Double offwidth cracks / 5.8 finger crack options start right above this ledge. It's possible to walk off along the path indicated with dashed white arrows.
