Heliotrope pitch 4. Placements 2-4 looked equally bad. Finally got a decent chickenhead as a 5th placement.
Pitch 1.

Looking down pitch four of Heliotrope
Pitch 1.
Heliotrope p3 crosses the face and climbs the marked crack, visible from the top of p2.
Wide open spaces-- the lower climber is at the third belay while the upper climber wanders up the fourth pitch of Heliotrope (en route to the varnished area above).
Jorge Urioste has climbed past the traverse as he makes the first ascent of pitch 3 on Heliotrope.
P3 anchor #1-#2 Metolius. Plus there is a purple Totem (0.5 Camalot) crack about 18 inches below and left.
First pitch of Heliotrope.
5th placement on Heliotrope pitch 4, and the first decent slung chickenhead. The rest of the climb was fun, but this section was not.
Looking down at the second belay from halfway up pitch 3 of Heliotrope.
