Christa Cline laybacking the crux of the first pitch.
Here I am at the crux of the "second pitch". I linked up the two pitches (was actually doing Friends in High Places). My last piece of pro was a nut placed at my feet in not the best looking rock. If the nut failed, a fall would have slammed me back into the first pitch dihedral.
