Set up the first belay below the orange lichen, below the overhang alcove where you see the climber. You can see the 2nd belay ledge in upper right corner.

On follow. Beautiful corner

Engaging the so called crux. The move goes down from there.

Reaching for the great jug after sustained laybacking on pitch 2.

Crescent Arch is the obvious corner on DAFF dome

Michy cranking out the end of the "crux" pitch.

Having fun on the 3rd pitch of the Crescent Arch

The start of a great route.

The route from parking

Pleased to be finished with the pitch.

Definitely a distinctive arch feature!

Coming up P3. I thought this pitch was insecure and much harder than the guidebook indicated.

End of P1 belay pitons are crappy, with moldy webbing. Stay Away!
