Dylan on the last pitch. There is a nice ledge about 15' below the bolt he is at, but there is no gear for an anchor. We had to build an anchor about 10' below and to the right of this ledge in a nice horizontal (although uncomfortable stance).

Belay ledge between pitch 4 and 5 is level with large pine tree to the left.
Pitch 5= Red, Pitch 6 = Blue. Both are real short. Keep traversing right after the 1st bolt on pitch 6. Do not go straight up.

We started at the cluster of maples behind Dylan after P1 of the OR. The quality of rock was much better than where I am standing when I took this picture. Once above tree line, angle up and right to the large right facing corner.
Belay for pitch 2. Pitch 3 pulls straight up through this bulge. There are 2 newer bolts and 2 older bolts at this anchor now.
Dylan coming up pitch 2 (after P1 of the OR). There is a right facing corner right below where I am standing that you need to aim for once above tree line.
