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

The ledge at the top of Pitch 4.
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.
Pitch 3. Jeff chimneying to the chockstone belay. Only the last 10 feet or so of this pitch involve any chimneying.
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.
