Gear, finally. You'll want some small cams here. You could, obviously, skip the runout first crux and start on these diagonal cracks. The route continues up and left from here into the shadows past two more bolts. The climbing is a bit harder, but only a bit runout. You'll want a red Camalot or thereabouts for after you turn the arete after the last bolt. Ziggie's Day Out (10d ***) follows these diagonal cracks out right to its crux at the bulge.

Getting a bit runout on the red rope but a bit closer ("runin") to the gear on the blue rope. It doesn't look too bad in this photo, but from below it looks like you might hit the ground and some nasty blocks.
Approaching the first bolt. From the ground it looks like you could hit the ground if you fell just before reaching the diagonal cracks, so Luke is sneaking a side belay on the left using double ropes.
