Big view of Piz Badille....
From top of P2 I think. A long way down to the packs.

The Ridge. P5 can't be seen (dotted line).
This is how we did P1. After traversing left and moving over the overhang I was a bit gripped, climbing off of a couple of tiny brass nuts. Didn't see the bolt mentioned in the comments and therefore wasn't sure I was on route.
Pitch 4: which way do you want to go?
Pitch 1: the second fixed pin, just after a small roof.
Pitch 4: slab to the upper roof dihedral is recommended.
Pitch 5: The Ridge portion of The Ridge, still roped up with a short section of rope.
Pitch 1: looking down from the first small roof. Observe the protection and spacing.
Near the second belay, looking south.
Pitch 1: Texas two step traverse left on pitch 1 at the small roof. Use a longer runner.
The first pin on pitch 1.
Piz Badille from the north, 8AM.
Pitch 2: fixed pin with a ring followed by the previous pin without a ring.
