P3 anchor #1-#2 Metolius. Plus there is a purple Totem (0.5 Camalot) crack about 18 inches below and left.

Jorge Urioste has climbed past the traverse as he makes the first ascent of pitch 3 on Heliotrope.
5th placement on Heliotrope pitch 4, and the first decent slung chickenhead. The rest of the climb was fun, but this section was not.

Heliotrope pitch 4. Placements 2-4 looked equally bad. Finally got a decent chickenhead as a 5th placement.
Pitch 1.
Heliotrope p3 crosses the face and climbs the marked crack, visible from the top of p2.

Wide open spaces-- the lower climber is at the third belay while the upper climber wanders up the fourth pitch of Heliotrope (en route to the varnished area above).
