The horizontal summit ridge is mostly not at all exposed, but we belayed it anyway in 2 pitches to get to the trees.

The Ridge: great mornings can turn into one hail of an afternoon. Take shelter from the storm.
Sorry for the previous incorrect photo! THIS is the summit ridge. Mostly not exposed, but we belayed it in 2 pitches to the trees.

Pitch 4: which way do you want to go?
This is how we did P1. After traversing left and moving over the overhang I was a bit gripped, climbing off of a couple of tiny brass nuts. Didn't see the bolt mentioned in the comments and therefore wasn't sure I was on route.
Pitch 1: the second fixed pin, just after a small roof.
Pitch 4: slab to the upper roof dihedral is recommended.
Pitch 5: The Ridge portion of The Ridge, still roped up with a short section of rope.
Pitch 1: looking down from the first small roof. Observe the protection and spacing.
Near the second belay, looking south.
The first pin on pitch 1.
Pitch 1: Texas two step traverse left on pitch 1 at the small roof. Use a longer runner.
Piz Badille from the north, 8AM.
Pitch 2: fixed pin with a ring followed by the previous pin without a ring.
