Dirk making the final moves of the climb after tunneling behind the giant chockstone.

The third pitch of the route. I though surpassing the final block before the big chockstone was really hard. The chockstone was a fun & easy - but dirty - tunnel through.
The route seen from the base. The belay atop the first pitch is on top of the leaning pillar, with the 5.7+ flaring slot directly above.

Looking back on P1 from the belay. The hand traverse inside deposits you into the wide chimney on the right. The rope bumped out the final cam seen here as it pulled through the corner, so the follower had an even longer potential swing.
What I thought was the crux on P2 - passing through the bombay to get established on the hueco climbing.
The fun 5.7+ flare. I thought this was the most fun part of the route.

Looking up the first pitch in the chimney. A tad R'ish. Stem'O'rama! <br> <br> Photo courtesy of Alan Ream.
