Koren Nydick nearing the crux of the route.

The flake that I highlight in my inset is super hollow. There were definitely some loose blocks on this but this scared me the most by far. Every time you kick it, tap it, or bump it it has a deep ring all the way through. Tread carefully.
This is the first pitch of the route. I had difficulty finding it in the wee hours of the morning so I hope this will be useful.

Detail for pitch 4. Stay right, up to the roof, get gear, then move left.
Approach.
