Start of pitch 2, protects really well, could probably lead it all with nuts and hexes

Doug starts off on Pitch 2.
I had a full set of hexes, nuts and 4 BD Camalots (.5,1,2,3). The crack on the second pitch is pretty gunked up with dirt and debris, so some of the passive pro placements seemed a bit sketchy at times. Bring a brush so you can clean out the cracks on the second pitch a bit.
Looking up at the second pitch from the hanging belay. It’s a little bit further to the start of the diagonal crack then the picture suggests, maybe 8ft over the chains.
The diagonal crack that starts pitch 2 abruptly angles upwards and widens for the last 60ft.
Good Exposure right off the deck... 2nd placement
