The traverse right to the small, fun overhang move on the 2nd pitch. My partner hung tags at each piece of gear, proposing to me on this climb! <br> There was a diamond engagement necklace hanging on the last piece. I said yes!

The obvious line! At the top the route traverses out through the roof via a face that can be seen through the "V" of the tree at the top of the photo. The crux of Slingtime (11 something) traverses right below the orange roof at the far top right of the photo.

The awkward chimney on Layback. Feels like it wants to spit you out the whole time.
