A view of the first crux on pitch 1. Makes sure to extend your sling and the belay station is just above.

Looking down from a belay above the first crux. Optionally, you can belay where scott's standing, as per the guidebooks.
The guy wearing black.....directly right behind him in this picture is the 4th class upclimb that leads to Osprey.

If you belay here, on the flat ledge above the alcove with a roof, then the second and final pitch can take you all the way to the top. Above this spot there are no comfortable belay ledges.

Here's a good ground view of the route you will be looking for. Rap down with two 60m ropes or you are going to leave gear.
A pretty good look at the second pitch route
This is the view from the belay ledge looking up at the second and final pitch of Osprey. You can see that it's steep and sustained with many small roofs.
Scott coming down after climbing Osprey. For the most part the route follows a line 5-10 feet right of the rappel ropes.
Detail of climber making the crux moves near the end of the first pitch. Look for this identifying feature you can see from the ground. Belay just above this roof/alcove.
In this photo: pitch 1 of Osprey. Climber is negotiating the first indent/roof (crux). Set your first belay on the ledge above this spot.
