Pitch 4 was the crux. Stem if you can stomach it, or just ow it. Working hard for every move.

Braille book: top of pitch 5. Trusting that floating tree belay with obviously exposed root structure. At least it's alive.
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).
