Historic bolts on top of P1. We used them and they were fine although you can avoid it by belaying in the crack just below or on chickenheads nearby.

Arin Trook starts up the stunning first pitch of Bee Line.

Pitch 2.
You can break it into three pitches with a semi hanging belay under the roof on gear....in hindsight probably more fun to climb through, you do get a nice photo.

2 starts. The left route is up a flake. Or face climb and use finger tips up the right crack for 15' (PG-13ish, micro gear). I rappelled straight down the route with 2 ropes. Pic by Brad Schierer
