The lighting bolt section of P2. It is possible to climb this beauty and traverse right on a nice ledge to avoid the OW and hit the stellar yellow corner hand crack; recommended!

Downclimb... not so bad, eh?

Looking up at the stellar first pitch.

Martyr from the west.

About at the first roof on P1. A deep, tooth-shaped flake allows a moment to protect the move around this obstacle.

The dicey step-around to a spacious belay.

The rap anchor on the back (blue and green with a quicklink).

The rap anchor from the back (probably 20-30 feet rap). We rap from there to those leaning rocks, then we rope up and climbed to the tree on the far right (5.4), and hike up the hill to our car.

A topout pic with a fancy new phone camera…ooooh, ahhhh.

P1 sewn up to the awkward step to the belay ledge (went right at the roof).
