Coming up pitch one, prior to riding the horn flake like a saddle

Party of two on the second pitch of Open Book, as seen from the true horn on "Traitor Horn". Bolted belay of "The Edge" visible on the lower left.

Why would you lieback this beautiful crack?

The P2 "lieback". Probably should've placed more than a single #2 cam, but it felt secure the whole way. I tackled it as a large hands/offwidth crack rather than a lieback. Definitely the way to go and mellow if you've got large hands/forearms

The start of Open Book.

5.7 lieback on P2/3 (depending on where you set the P2 belay)

The first pitch of Open Book. (you can also see the roof near the top of the second pitch, but most of that pitch can't be seen).

Good Fun on the 2nd Pitch
