Nearing the top of the second pitch of the east ridge of the Great Potato. The first pitch, and the tree that marks the start, can be seen in the shadow below. March 2015.

Be prepared for 50% of your holds to turn into this
P2 trends left past 4 bolts then up the ridge to the summit. Note the first of the 4 bolts near the left side of the photo
