Pitch 3.

Climbers on the crux corner of the third pitch. Heavily chalked holds are visible across the canyon.

Looking for nonexistent footholds at the start of the 5th pitch.

Beta for the .11d (12-) "crux" pitch. The first piece with the sling is stuck up there, as are two stoppers, and my friend found out they're all good, so go for it!

No number 4's needed!!
