The clean crack on pitch 3 of the upper facet has magnificent climbing.

The initial corner of Algae on Parade

Looking up at the final pitch. We stayed in the left crack and followed it through the bulge. I think the bulge is 5.6+, maybe 5.7, but protect excellent. You can easily avoid it by moving out right around the bush

Looking down the final pitch before pulling over the bulge.

Top of the climb. The tree pictured here with the rack hanging, I believe was used as an anchor at one time. That tree is now completely dead, but there is an excellent crack right next to it.

Third rap station. Once you are down from here, it is a short scramble with some easy down climbing to get back to the base of the climb. I believe there is a final rap station if that is preferred

Belay anchor at the top of the 2/3 pitch, depending on how you do it. We did it in three and it look 220ft of rope to get here from the ledge with the large tree.

The bomber belay tree at the top of what I believe most would consider pitch 1. This would be the second bushy ledge as you look up from the base of the climb.

Looking down at a little down scrambling to get to the second bolted rap station.

Looking up at the last pitch after you pass the lower bulge. We climbed straight up the pillar and than moved across right to the top of the climb.

Looking down from the second bolted rap station. This station is hidden behind the bush in the other picture.

Looking down pitch 2 of Algae on Parade. By following the varnished face and clean crack, this is an excellent pitch.

Second rap anchor on AOP. From here with double (2) 70's the third station can be passed.

If doing the route in three long pitches, this is looking up at pitch 2. This is from the large ledge with the bomber belay tree.

Looking down at the top half of the final pitch and the traverse needed to get to the top of the climb.
