A #5 is pretty tipped out on pitch 3. I suggest a #6 if you look to protect this short section. There's slings at the beginning and great gear just above..

Nearing the top of the 5.10 pitch. It has eased off to about 5.8 at this point. You can see the 5.7 slab traverse just near the edge of the photo.

Second pitch starts directly behind Michael

Top of the second pitch looking down. It's a small ledge perfect to sit on. Sling the rock under your butt for your anchor.

Pitch one

Second half of Pitch one

Awesome 5.10 pitch!

A tipped out #5 placement on the committing 5.8 layback move. A #6 would be bomber, but you only need it for this one move....
