Sick Flake. The 5.8 crux is surmounting the chockstone at the top of the chimney, and laybacking the flake above.
Luke getting a bit dynamic spinning out of the wide crack. The 4.5 Camalot Luke is carrying is optional but nice for entering the slot above the lip.

Topos for Sooberb (red) and Sooberb Lite (blue), which is a mash-up of Sooberb and Long John Wall (or similar).

Lower West Ridge.
Wedging your shoulder into the wide crack enables you to place gear high and let go with both hands.
The Sooberb pitch. There were two fixed pieces in the looming crack above to protect the move from the face into the slot.
Second pitch.
