Mike Newheart at the top of P1.

Looking back towards the arch after having passed under it. This is a landmark for the higher walk + rap option. Go a little higher, find cairns leading into a gully, a few single rope raps, one optional, then down painted bowl, towards IBM boulder, etc

Solar Slab - wohoo patina!

Consulting the good book/guide book.

This is the lower of two walk+rap off options. Go higher past the last pitch, follow cairns to climbers left... keep following these cairns, the will drop down past this to a huge detached pillar/block. You can downclimb to rap anchors nearby.
