The third crux--the moves left to the intermediate belay bolts. Much harder than it looks at first. Perhaps the real crux of the climb.

The first crux.

Eldo's sport crag.

The move past the second bolt is one of the several cruxes.

Above the roof. Strenuous 5.9 from here to the anchors.

Tony on the seldom-done last pitch to the Upper Ramp. Supposedly 5.9, the move out of the corner--straight left from the anchor bolts above the roof crux--past the fixed pin visible at the bottom of the photo, felt harder to me than the P1 face. In fact, I fell following here and dropped back down to the lip of the roof due to rope stretch.

After standing at the lip, it's over. Except for some pretty hard 5.9 moves.

Moving left to the midway anchors and beyond to the rest is THE crux for me.
