Mike Keegan passing the first bolt on Asahi.
2nd pitch is more challenging then it appears.
Switching cracks is relatively easy. You'll want a #1/red Camalot for the crack on the right.
Racing the shadow up @ the crux.
Just after the first crux. The second bolt is to Lenny's left.
On the last hard moves on P2. P2 felt harder to us than P1. At Lenny's waist is a few inches of sharp-edged finger crack that, if your fingers fit, would make this easier. For us, it was too thin and too painful, so we had to layback.
Asahi from uphill.
The approach to the crux. The #4 Camalot is left of Luke. We traversed left high, as Luke is about to do.

From here we climbed up and right to the crack and then back left on the face, possibly avoiding an upper crux, but what we did seemed logical. Is this crack on the 9 variation of Linga Line?
Above the crux. Luke's feet are at the 2nd bolt. Luke placed gear up and left, because he didn't see the 3rd bolt, which is somewhat hidden up and right.
