Dougald following P3.

Red line is the route, blue line is the descent we took.
Looking up the crux second pitch. (Camera was mistakenly set to overexpose by two stops, so forgive the blown-out colors.) We climbed a crack line on the far right side of the photo, then traversed delicately back left to finish up the obvious chimney line. Sustained M4 and M5 moves with pretty good pro. Might be simpler to just climb straight up above Greg, but on the day we were there the right-hand line looked more appealing.

Doogle on the top of P3, pulling the KB, under the monster pillows!
Dougald finishing P2. We did not climb this obvious chimney - it was full of greasey lichen & moss. We moved right 10' to a better choice.
