Braille book: Fun exposed pitch 5. First time I really had to not look down when leading.
Not sure if I ended at the right spot on the top of pitch 3 but I was running low on gear so this was where I set up my anchor (two cams in a flake behind the triton rock feature protecting upward pull).

Pitch 5, which is around to the right a bit.
