Looking down from above the crux.
The bolt below the crack, not 10 feet away but more like 3 feet. Quite useless, because you can plug your first cam right above it. In the picture, I rotated it quarter turn with my hand, loose. The approach to the crack is like a minefield, loose crap all over. There's gear, but the prospect of pulling off chunks of rock made the route less appealing.

Crawl across "Thank God" ledge, make a scary step across to that nice stance in the bottom right of the photo, then head up some really rotten rock!<br> Climber is almost to the old 1/4 inch bolt....
Starting the physical crux, not the mental crux, since you have good gear at this point... good #4s.
The final steep wall at the top of the climb. Great jugs make this easy and fun.
The route climbs the cleft and roof crack on the right side of the photo.
Mike climbing the flared chimney at the start of our third pitch. It's also possible to climb this chimney as the end of the second pitch if you have a #4 Camalot available for pro.
Mike starting up the first pitch. When he gets to the tree above him, he will cut left and up to a rotten ramp.
The crux wide crack through the roof. Bring a #4 Camalot (or two) for pro.
