Looking up from belay stance at end of P3 if you took left crack option and intend to traverse leftward for P4 to reach rap station on Smooth Operator.

Start of the money pitch. Be sure you lead this one, not follow with the pack. Ugh.
Belay ledge at top of P3 if you took the left crack/ramp option. From here, you can traverse about 50ft around corner to climber's left on good horizontal edges to reach the rap station for Smooth Operator, which is roughly about the same height as this

The crack system followed by Ernest Stemmingway.
Start of P2.
Another photo showing two climbers finishing P1 of Ernest Stemingway. The bolted belay is spacious and comfortable -- and gives you plenty of time to size up the impending chimney + OW section.
The decision point on pitch 3 of Ernest Stemmingway. Left leads to pleasant ramp. Right leads to an "offwidth grovel." We went left...
Looking down pitch 2. The climber is at the top of the offwidth and about to enter the chimney.

Climbers on top of P1 belay at the bolted anchor. Ernest Stemingway follows this wide crack system for 3 pitches. From this photo, you're looking at the first two or so pitches.
The easy upper slabs.
