P3 dihedral - the small pine above is a false summit, concealing a short corner beyond with a satisfying finish.

There appear multiple options for P1 on either side of the central chute (I stayed right). Carrying only a 50 m rope, and exploring with my dog, I rapped twice through this lower P1 section for expediency and the assurance of our mutual safety on descent.

For P3, potential lines of ascent further out to the right were shorter and would have been considered were it not for these precariously balanced death blocks, which I was more than happy to give a very wide berth in favor of a longer line to the left.
A side view of the P2 ramp reveals the gentle angle of ascent for the majority of this 4th class scrambling pitch.
The entrance to the North Ramp couloir is notably marked by the towering pillar seen here.
