Gordy leading P4, the most exposed pitch of the route. Falsely labeled the crux in the guide book.

Gordy making what the guide book calls the crux move of the route... it's not. The 3 of us agreed it felt like a 5.8+, maybe 5.9 move with good protection.

Gordy just after making the supposed crux move of the route. We all agreed that P2 offered much more difficulty than P4.

The crescent arch ends and a piton lures you out onto the face.

The exposure factor after leaving the crescent arch and moving onto the face was very thrilling.

The friction makes for great footing and probably the most enjoyable pitch of the entire route.

The pro gets pretty thin where Tom is at in this picture. We just ran it out and found better pro just around the corner of the climbers right.

Tom passing what the guide book calls the crux of the route. We couldn't decide wether we were dissapointed or relieved that it was not. The exposure was enough of an intimidation factor. It was still a fun 5.8+/5.9 move however.

Very surprised to see this frog next to a piton after moving onto the face near the end of P4.
