Pitch 2.
You can break it into three pitches with a semi hanging belay under the roof on gear....in hindsight probably more fun to climb through, you do get a nice photo.
Beeline 5.9--Cochise Stronghold, East side, AZ
Historic bolts on top of P1. We used them and they were fine although you can avoid it by belaying in the crack just below or on chickenheads nearby.
Past the last good pro for a while. Moving into easier flakes. Photo by Sarah Handrahan

A good sense of the pro through the thin crack and then around the roof and corner. Photo by Hanna.

2 starts. The left route is up a flake. Or face climb and use finger tips up the right crack for 15' (PG-13ish, micro gear). I rappelled straight down the route with 2 ropes. Pic by Brad Schierer
