Awesome adventure route with some wild exposure! Yeeehaaa!

P2: 5.6 - Follow bolts up shallow groove left of the belay, then traverse right side of 10ft saddle to another bolt, scramble up and left a bit to a great belay with chains. 110ft

Possible to link Pitches 3 and 4 with alpine draws.
P4: 5.7 - Clip a bolt up and left from the belay with good exposure getting on the face. Climb up to the summit after passing a through a band of basalt. 90ft Walk Up and right over to the true summit and sign the register!
