At the upper crux at the 5th bolt. After that it's about hard 5.9. The climber at the top is on Moonlight Drive and is trying to finish directly up the arete.

Underclinging left along the ramp. This is a little insecure, and the bolt is several feet below your feet. It looks like you could get a small brass nut by Chuck's right shoulder.

At the upper crux at the 5th bolt. After that it's about hard 5.9. The climber at the top is on Moonlight Drive and is trying to finish directly up the arete.
Underclinging left along the ramp. This is a little insecure, and the bolt is several feet below your feet. It looks like you could get a small brass nut by Chuck's right shoulder.
Chuck's hands are on the ramp, and his knees are at the 4th bolt. To get to the 5th bolt, you can either hand traverse left along the ramp and then stand or stand up and right from where Chuck is and then undercling left.
At the flake after the crux near the 3rd bolt. The climbers on the left are at the hanging belay on Moonlight Drive.
Moving left from the first bolt. I think Chuck was too low, since he got pretty far left of the first bolt and then had to lean far right to clip the second bolt.<br> <br> The route angles left from chuck to a flake that's visible below the ceiling. Then over the ceiling on its right side. Left again aiming for the cracks at the top left of the photo (joining Moonlight Drive).You can escape right at several points on the upper half to finish left of the tree at the top center of the photo.
