The route goes up the obvious corner/crack system in the middle into the shaded area. We climbed where the dark rock meets the light rock, then up to the right.

Crux Pitch 8/10/22
Crux on the standard route. You can stand on a ledge to place the 0.50" cam and then step up stemming to place the #2. When you pull over this via lay backs there is a 2nd less strenuous layback that protects the finish.
Photo taken from top of pitch one. Don't end up on the ledge like we did - it required a slightly dicey traverse to get back on route.
Belay stance at the top of pitch 2.

Perched on the summit with a lot of air beneath.
View of the 3rd pitch. We climbed up towards the straight splitter crack in the center of the photo (looks very small from here), passing a piton on our left, before traversing left into the notch.
