~150' into P2 (or 30' into P3). Ended up being .9+ further up, so maybe we were off route. At this point my partner tried going elsewhere first, then gave up, down-climbed, and climbed as shown here.

60-70' into P2 - this is where we went right to avoid the 10+ diagonal double cracks that Erroneous mentions.
~120' into P2. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1109178 calls this the start of P3.

Route Overlays Prusik Peak.
The .10a splitter option to finish off the route. (Pitch 7) It's not every route where you get to pull a 5.10 move and pop out right onto the summit.
Higher up on Pitch 5.
Nearing the top of Pitch 6.
Somewhere near the end of Pitch 5 or start of Pitch 6. There is a nice belay ledge at the tree above (which would make Pitch 5 long and Pitch 6 short).
Traverse at top of Pitch 1 of Burgner-Stanley to the top of the chimney on Beckey-Davis. This avoids having to climb the sparsely-protected chimney of the Beckey-Davis Pitch 1. (Based on other photos I've seen, I am not absolutely positive we stopped/traversed into the "treed ledge" at the top of the chimney noted in the route description, but there was a tree there and a ledge there and it was at the top of the chimney so it seemed correct. Perhaps could come in higher or lower too, not sure.)
Pitch 1 of Burgner Stanley is the wide hand crack on the left. Pitch 1 of Beckey-Davis is the chimney on the right. Can climb Pitch 1 of Burgner-Stanley and intersect Beckey-Davis route above this.
Nearing the notch at the top of Pitch 6.
I suspect this is the 10+ crack (60-70' into P2) that Erroneous & co climbed. We went right at this point instead of climbing the crack.
Pitch 5 starts in a shallow dihedral with a crack on the left. This may or may not be it. It seemed a bit hard for 5.9 but it worked and was in line with the finish of the route high above.
Pitch 4 (traverse across Snafflehound Ledge).
Approaching Snafflefold Ledge (officially the end of P3, though it takes most parties 4-5 pitches to get here). We approached from directly below, climbing a short dirty chimney.
