Topping out the second pitch where YW joins SE Corner. Continuing straight above the gear takes you to the tree above the 5.7 pitch of SEC. For YW traverse right on a perfect ledge to 2 bolts and the corner of pitch 3.

Looking up on Pitch 3 from the belay station. After the dihedral with the fixed pin (you can't see it here), keep going at about a 10:30 clock angle to reach the grassy belay ledge where you can build your anchor using.

The late Jim Anglin off route on Young Warriors in 2005. If you are looking at where Jim is, turn left and head west to the cubby hole with the recessed pitons. That was the conversation Jim and I were having although mostly I was laughing since he looked much like a treed racoon to me. Jim was a solid belayer, despite tieing his shoes here while I was still "on belay" (on a flat ledgeish).
Adam Snyder leading pitch #4. I thought this was a really cool picture.

Joe Healy below and I cleaned this part off. These rocks wiped out the base of Young Warriors one winter when the roots of a large fir tree which was blown over ripped the rocks off.

This is the 2nd pitch after the "cave feature," which is also referred to as the "butthole pitch." You have to lean out left of the hole to get in gear, then continue straight up to the finger crack.
This is the big belay ledge at the top of the 3rd pitch. As the description says, you'll need to build an anchor here.

Here I am coming up pitch 4. It starts out a bit tricky, and the ending up the slabby overhangs are also a bit tricky.
