Looking down on the crux. Move right under the little tree. I belayed here to keep the rope from damaging the tree....

The route with cruxes shown and approximate belays circled. If using a 60m rope and following the low direct start (yellow, 5.6), you need to set a belay before the first crux (yellow circle). Skip the next belay, and continue up. Three pitches.
Several climbers on the east face of Pellaea. As seen from the summit of Fiddle Head.

Bob and MaryLynn finishing up on the last pitch.
Starting to the right of the short tree shown in the photo (more bush like), going up and then traversing over to it is probably same difficulty and very runout when traversing. Seemed 5.5 R. This was a good belay spot too.
Slanty tree where I think most parties start. We started 20-25 feet above that.
P3 crux headwall ... runout above.
View down P2.
P1-2 belay ... view up P2.
P1 ... crux headwall.
