Walkoff from the top of Armatron, Pitch 6. Once at the summit head climber's right 2 minutes to a tree with a trail which takes you Northeast/down into the descent gully. Beware the narrow ledge is fairly narrow but very easy/low angle with exposure.

Pitch 3 is protected mostly by nuts between the brownstone blocks. Offsets work great.

Questing up the slab.

So many slick plates. Placed something like 8-10 pieces of pro. Surprisingly thoughtful slow climbing. Easy to slip.

View of 'Armatron' from the Juniper Canyon drainage. The picture was taken from about where you head up the talus/slabs to the base of the Brownstone Wall. Route goes up where arrow points (angled due to perspective).

Pitch 3 is mostly protected by nuts between the brownstone blocks. There are a few horizontals that take cams. Here is a photo of the #2 placement mentioned in some route descriptions.
