Pitch 4 corner.

Pitch 1. It had rained the night before. The entire route was dry enough to climb despite the water streaks beside it at the base.

Looking down on pitch 5. If you skip this pitch, you're doing yourself a disservice. This is what made the climb for me.

Unknown climber coming up the 4th layback pitch. Super cruiser climbing with really grippy feet and great pro.

Climber in blue shirt is at the top of the 4th pitch, Purple is on the 5th Pitch

Looking back up pitch 5 after the rap. I'm at the rap anchors, belayer on the left is at the top of the 4th pitch anchors.

Top of Pitch 5. Traverse right to the hidden belay bolts.

Top of Pitch 2. The crack peters out, and the pitch finishes with a bolt-protected slab move.

Pitch 3 climbs easy mid-fifth to the tree in the upper right.

Photo taken from the top of P3. The climber lower down is at the top of P2. P3 only requires you to sling the tree, and the horizontal crack is very easy to scramble across. Linking P2 and P3 is recommended.

Ends of my 70m rope beneath the final rappel. Had similar experiences on two other raps where we had about 3 feet of extra rope. I would NOT recommend rapping this route with a 60 if you are avoiding the belay stations & using rap stations as requested.
