A good view of the upper pitches - the layback is on the right and the crack with the traverse left is on the left.

Main pitches of Casually Off Route variation to the Casual Route
Contemplating the slab moves above the layback.
Climbers on Casually Off Route, May 20, 2009. Climbers are at the "S" crack belay.<br>
You can step left here to easier ground or do a little more laybacking. Casual Route comes in on the left.
The step right to the belay below the layback. The belay is 20' above the climber on the slanting ramp. Go straight up here instead to do the undercling.
Chad just above the layback.
Looking down the final slab - this is a bit runout!<br>
Hanging Chad just finishing the crux of the layback pitch.

Happy to top out!
When doing the exit gully, this is looking at the short, roped up section where the Zeilman guidebook suggests roping up. You can build an anchor in decent rock with small gear in a crack to the right, or you could solo, but the rock is a bit dirty.
If you decide to do the exit gully directly to the left of the exit pitches, you'll encounter a huge cave/chockstone. Climb up and left (maybe like two 5.6 moves?) past it. After that, it's like a 10-15 minute hike back up to the rim.
