From the top of P1 (P2 belay). Holding the rope out so you can see the angle of the wall at this point.

Grant preparing to lead P2 of the Great Arch. The light patch above is where the flake was removed. Might have been a little harder than 5.5, but the small crack to the left can be protected with passive pro or small cams.
