The odd flake on pitch 2. Harrison is drilling the bolt on lead. This is where we broke up the pitch. So I took the photo at what was the top of our pitch 2. But the pitch ought to move up to the 2-bolt anchor about 40' above.
The start of pitch 2. The crack on the lower left was used for the anchor. The .75/#1 sized crack works up and right into the chimney and then the crack continues up in the chimney for helpful protection.

Looking at the route from the parking. Sorry for the low quality. I took the photo through a monocular.
Looking SE towards the washes for the approach. The circle is where we parked.
Looking at the large scoop below the east side of Castle in the Sky Tower.
Looking down to the west. The 2-bolt anchor is just behind Harrison's left shoulder.
View to the west from the summit.
