Once at the fourth pitch anchors, evaluate the weather. You have four to five more pitches of 5th class climbing to easier ground. The route traverses diagonally right and then straight up to into a crack, dihedral system that angles right up the rest of the wall.
A left-facing chimney followed by some slab climbing leads to the right edge of a grassy ledge with a two bolt anchor. 3b.

This picture looks up the last 300 to 400 feet of the right-leaning dihedral/crack system. Stay on the left of the system to avoid potentially loose rock. Use the system when needed for protection, but sling the pro with longer runners. The climbing here ranges from 5.6 max rolling over to easier grades.
