Above the crux on P2. The crux is the thin crack and tiny left facing corner through the overhanging headwall below Luke. The climbing is easy up to there and very easy but runout above. The final large red corner is about 5.7.

Solid gear below the crux. Good demonstration of runout to next ledge. From here, go straight up essentially unprotected 5.7 or make a couple of easy moves left or right to protectable easy climbing.
Approaching the P1 crux. The flake my left hand is on is suspect. You can get one good big brass nut just above this flake in the main corner. The gear below is dependent on the flake holding. If you're tall, the crux is getting stood up where my hand is. If you can't reach the jug from there, the next move may be the crux. I Did it My Way is just to the right.
