Offwidth on Pitch 9. Most climbers bypass the offwidth for a fingercrack about 4 feet to the right.

Looking down Pitch 9. Climb the offwidth or fingercrack.

Pitch 4 starts somewhere in here.

The section on the descent that you either jump across or downclimb an exposed section a bit to make an easy step across. In the photo Janet is doing the downclimb rather than the jump across.

On the summit!
