Not sure whether this is the correct finish of P2, but this nice crack with a bit of overhang is definitely memorable.
Arch P2 standard finish.
View from the 'optional' hanging belay, at the tree around the corner and above of the Arch. Use long (double-length) slings to protect the corner, otherwise expect horrendous rope drag!
'Optional' hanging belay after exiting the Arch. The moves up to this tree were the scariest part of the climb, since they were exposed, unprotected, and a fall would be very big and very messy..
