If you don't belay at the obvious bushy ledge on the second pitch, you can continue to this cramped position underneath the overhang. You'll probably want your big cam as part of your anchor. Your partner will appreciate that the big cam will not weigh him down on the wide crack above.

I don't know if I'll ever climb this route, but if I do, this will be on the back of my harness.
Descent to the main trail is on the back side of the climb.

View of the first dihedral pitch from the trail. You'll have to scramble a bit to get to this ledge.

¡On P2, don't go too far left like I did and end up in this corner. It was fun climbing, but not the right route. The correct way is up the crack in the top right of this photo
Approaching the ledge on the second pitch.
Top of 3rd pitch.
View from the final belay station (top of fifth pitch)!
Top of fourth pitch. Lots of run outs in pitches 4 and 5, but you're almost there!
Top of 2nd pitch right before the roof pitch.
Start of Crown Royal.
