Topping out on the last pitch of Orbit, as seen from the descent gully

Looking down from belay 2 at the delightful 5.9 finger crack system that begins after a leftward traverse. You can also see the scramble gully (p0 in the route description) in the background.
Small runout around P3 arete. good angle of the amazing pointy arete holds.

Looking down the "sIt start" to pitch 1 of Orbit. Avoids the BS gully and links nicely into the standard start of the first pitch, making it nearly 60M. Bring an extra small cam or two (purple C3) and/or micro nuts for this little gem.

Pitch 3. Best rock on Snow Creek?
Gabe following up P3, what I felt to be the mental crux of the route (especially when its raining).
