The second crux (5/29/2017). Fairly narrow.
Cracklin' Otis Bran is the leftmost route in the picture, curving left of the rock rib in the picture. <br> <br> The three cruxes are visible, after which the route turns to snow and gently curves right to join the east ridge to the summit of Otis. Right of the rock rib appears to be a snow-only route option that joins up with this route after the cruxes.

Looking back down after finishing the third crux (5/29/2017).
Straightforward snow climbing from here after the third crux.
Looking at the right ice option on the third crux before deciding no. It was rotten up to about my thigh before turning good, and I couldn't manage to get my leg up that high. (5/29/2017)
The third crux is (barely) visible at the top of the photo. The right option is ice but was rotten at the bottom. The left was more rock. (5/29/2017)
