#4 fits great on the right side of the bear hug towards the start.

Avoiding the rabbit ears is way easier than some descriptions make it out to be. Just mosey up p7 (what supertopo describes as pitch 8) and follow the rope line in this photo.
Lower portion of Nervous Nelly, so says the comments. Notice position relative to bear hug cracks above and left.

Bear Hug, 4th pitch
The route. Bear-hug pitch visible, as well as the nice white crack first pitch.
Easy downclimb to gully avoiding the "bunny ears" rap (green circle). Going on the gully side of the tree makes for less rope drag. I put one piece at the top of the gully and ran out the final wide crack to belay from the summit.
A quick paws on the Bear Hug Pitch.

Cool shot of Climbers on (what I think was the SW rib)!

The 10b finger crack variation
Looking up the pitch 3 variation - a 10b finger crack. It's good.
