Starting up the second pitch on a beautiful day

Leading the rib in spring of 2017

Looking up the start of P1. Go up the corner, stay left of the boulder pictured, then above it hook right. The layback crux (12'?) will be obvious, and the path to the classic belay ledge described in the beta. Crux sucks up pro (BD .2, .3, 2, .4...).

My partner nearing the top of P2, good anchor at the tree.

Looks like some people still use some of these old pins!
