It seemed natural and most direct to continue up the corner for Pitch 3. However, the first half of this pitch seemed rather dirty and the second half seemed much more travelled, and I never had to do the "face traverse left into corner" halfway though the pitch, so I am guessing (?) the first half of this pitch starts a bit further right of the corner system, for some reason (better climbing perhaps?). The climbing in this corner was not bad, just grungy.

Roof at top of Pitch 5. You can get good hand jams along the top and there is a key knob for the foot out left.

Money pitch!!
