Beginning the leftward traverse across the slab. This slab section is really fun. Occasional bolts with some gear in between. Slightly run out, but not too hard. There is one particularly hard move at the very end, just before you get to the ceiling that starts the crux section.

Just above the crux ceiling. Pulling the ceiling isn't that hard if your feet are in the right place. If they aren't, you're likely to spin off. The climbing remains 10ish for about 10 more feet.

Tim cruising the 2nd pitch.

Dave Pearson just after the roof move on pitch 2.

The crux arete in the top center....

Using holds on both sides of the arete, one more hard move gets you to a jug.

Greg likes to hang out like this on steep rock after hard moves. This time it's off a heel hook.

Climbing the fun slab above the annoying starting roof on P2. Greg is skipping gear here, and ended up not placing any gear on this pitch.

Getting over your right foot after pulling the overhang without tipping off is the crux.

Immediately after the crux move. You can place a green Alien here. The crux move is made on small wires with good gear by your feet.

Clipping the last bolt on P1. I've always (3 times now) gone left at the bolt below Greg's feet (difficult) and then up just left of the last bolt as Greg is doing. It may be possible to climb straight up past both of those bolts.

Starting the first moves past the bolt and pin in the red band. A couple of these holds will eventually break off, and this will become harder.

Making the moves up to the base of the crux groove.

Ivan Rezucha where the climbing starts to get serious (start of Rossiter's P2). Cruxy moves continue beyond the skyline of this shot.
