V-8 Crack is the sharp splitter in the upper right of the picture just right of the dark red streak, the climber is at the top of Shine or Whine.

Resting
V8 crack as seen from P1 anchor of West Face. Scramble up and belay from the ledge. Mussy hooks anchor set slightly back from the edge up top.
Final few moves before reaching topping out and clipping the anchor. I carried triples of .75, 1, and 3 and used them all. Plenty of backcleaning involved
two climbers on the beautiful V8 crack!
At the very top you can exit either left or right. Choose wisely.
Upper section dual cracks.
