Pitch 3. Jeff chimneying to the chockstone belay. Only the last 10 feet or so of this pitch involve any chimneying.
The roped climbing begins at the base of a crack that extends 140 feet up the ridge's west side to the shoulder above. I started the pitch here, although I think you can scramble up a bit higher from the left and start at the crack shown the next photo.

Pitch 5. The harder (5.9) but better option is to climb cracks in the summit block right of the leaning flake.
Jeff on the 5.9 corner pitch to the top. This is an excellent way to finish the route. Highly recommended over the 4th class option.
Pitch 4. This pitch tunnels through the chimney 40-50 feet and then heads up about 20 feet to a break in the ceiling and a ledge.
The ledge at the top of Pitch 4.
Start of Pitch 1. You can start up either crack. The left start is 5.9 and the corner on the right is 5.8. I went left.

Not the best pic, but this gives an idea of the chimney width.
