You can top out by following the route up and to the north from the West Overhang. The climbing grade is super easy, and the rock can be choss, but the view is worth it.
Zoom in for detail. Action sequence of Pete cruisin' the West Overhang (unfortunately I got a little chalk on my lens, hence the white haze).
Pete leading into the second pitch of the West Overhang (5.7).
The start of the West Overhang (direct right of big block), and the start of the Bomb (second slot from the big block). Both routes climb 5.4 to the ledge.
After the first few move the route cruises into 5.4 through the slot directly to the right of the big block.
