Set up the first belay below the orange lichen, below the overhang alcove where you see the climber. You can see the 2nd belay ledge in upper right corner.

On follow. Beautiful corner

Engaging the so called crux. The move goes down from there.

Ben starting the Crescent Arch pitch.

The start of a great route.

Pleased to be finished with the pitch.

Definitely a distinctive arch feature!

Coming up P3. I thought this pitch was insecure and much harder than the guidebook indicated.

End of P1 belay pitons are crappy, with moldy webbing. Stay Away!
