Old (circa 1970-80's) Chouniard Piton. Photo is oriented correctly, the pin was driven down into the "hole". (Thread eye with wire of a wired nut or a sling.)

The way we did P1, but I think this is more P1 of "The Wandering" than the "Direct".
RW finds the old piton, near top of P2

RW on the "beautiful white slab" of P2, "Carter Direct". He has trended a left to get gear (small cam or nut) in the vertical crack, rather than going directly up the slab.
Looking up at P1 from the base. The lonely belay tree can clearly seen on the horizon just right of center.
S Matz on the very low angled slab just below the 'thread and #2 Camalot" belay at the end of the normal pitch 2 (our P4 with 50m rope)
RW belays 15-20 Left of the "headwall pockets pitch " of P3 (arrow) [The mossy clump is further down than it appears.] The climb "Wandering I" climbs nearly directly up from Ralph.

Looking directly up while huging the lonely belay tree on my solo ascent, late fall 2012.

Looking up at the headwall wave on P3.
We climbed P1 starting from the "toe" of the slab. It's fun, easy climbing to the big tree. From Brad's photo, it looks like the start is intended to be further right and higher up, but this is a fun variation.
