Looking south on the Northwest Corner route of North Early Winters Spire (taken from Liberty Bell summit). Note the large flake/crack that is the offwidth 4th pitch.

We did the long corner left side in, it seemed pretty simple and scarcely 5.9. We also ran the rope all the way out to a belay in the upper cracks, after the pac-man mouth above the wide corner.
#4 fits well (in several spots) in the Zig-Zag Flakes pitch.
Looking up the awesome NW Corner.
