Part of the upper ridge near the top. The downclimb to the major notch starts from the farthest tower.

Starting the first pitch. I went right from here and more or less followed the right hand skyline. The central gully is visible just right.
On the approach. The route follows the sun-shade line directly below the right summit. The descent gully is center frame.

On the excellent belay ledge at the end of the 6th pitch.
Looking down the 6th pitch. Craig is at the end of the leftward traverse.
Looking back across the orange gully at the end of the simul-climbed third pitch. Taken from the base of the upper wall where I believe the original route starts.
