Hanging out on the big Huecos on the approach to the crux. Good cam right of Chuck. Move left from here then up a few moves to the second bolt.
ID 1204539 ·
After the scary and dangerous step over the roof. The gear is a small cam in an expanding flake that is scary to pull on let alone put gear behind. The next gear is at the bottom of the photo. On TR a while back I saw a possibility of a brass nut to the climber's left at foot level.<br> <br> The climbing remains hard above this, but there is good gear in thin crack on the right after another move or two.
Back on route at the start of the steep section of P3. Chuck is getting good gear in at waist level. The first bolt is about 10' below Chuck. We missed it by going too far right and into Pigeon Crack. The second bolt is up and left abouot 15' above Chuck. The rock up and right of Chuck looked quite climbable to me looking up from this belay stance, but from above it looks much less attractive--steep and rotten.

Pulling the roof on P2. The next couple of moves are pretty committing.
Pulling the roof on P2. Same picture as previous one, but cropped for a close up. This climber climbed the crack directly, but both times I've done it I've stepped right of the crack for a stem rest above the lip of the roof.<br> <br> This pitch has become the standard way to do Psychosis, although the original second pitch of Psychosis 9+, the red right facing dihedral left of the climber, is also good.
At the second bolt and the 10a crux. Move up and left to the arete on strenuous but positive slanting finger holds with mediocre feet.
