Climbing past final chockstone
Most right hand V notch is getting to the second rappel.

Right in between the ears
This is the first rappel off the top of the ear on the north side which then sets you up for one more short bolted rappel before a little scramble to the notch shown in that other photo where there is another bolted rappel station. Then you head down the ridge and towards col with eastpost. When you get to the steep section above the eastpost col there was one last hidden rap station on the left.
As mentioned in earlier comments you can see a block has fallen off the 5.8 direct start. Because of this we thought the left crack of triangle looked more straightforward but there are definitely a couple hard moves to pull through. I'd say at least 5.9 particularly moving through where this is a bit of old tat/cord hanging.
Looking up after the direct start. This is the classic P1 version
