P2- continue up fingers at .11a to wander around 2 big bushes, right of the first, left of the second, all on flakier cracks to hanging belay on flake. 160'.

P3- "Bat roof" 5.11a climb "underjams" towards the right in a perfect hands roof then pull around side to fingers and left to ledge belay under peg stripe. 110'.
