Sick Flake. The 5.8 crux is surmounting the chockstone at the top of the chimney, and laybacking the flake above.

Dec. views from the rap.
The third pitch's right-facing dihedral.
Chuck casually resting with a heel hook. You can pull hard with your leg and make a long reach to the lip. I've done it this way, but this time I found it easier to work the crack and face holds just right of the crack.
Lower West Ridge.
Matt starting up P2.
CM finishing the second pitch.

The roof looks much bigger from straight below, but it's more of a steeply overhanging face than a roof. You can get half way out by wedging into the wide crack.
Luke getting a bit dynamic spinning out of the wide crack. The 4.5 Camalot Luke is carrying is optional but nice for entering the slot above the lip.
There are some buckets on the right wall, but it's hard to reach anything once you've committed to these.
Wedging your shoulder into the wide crack enables you to place gear high and let go with both hands.
