Greg's on the crux at the second to last bolt. The route climbs right to the left edge of the quartz dike at the bottom of the photo and then moves left on big humps between the 2nd and 3rd visible bolts. At the bolt with the long sling it moves back right past another closely spaced bolt to the quartz band and up that to the anchors.

These moves up the left edge of the quartz is the first crux at 11b. The bolt below Greg is useful if you're doing it from the ground in one pitch via the 5.9 trad start.
The 11d crux. Virtually nothing for your hands and some marginal stems lead to a jug out right. The stems look solid in this photo, but don't be deceived.

The second 11b crux. If you choose the wrong hand or footholds, it's easy to tip out as you stand up. Once stood up, there's nothing for your hands.
Moving back right into the quartz towards the second 11b crux. There are small sharp holds in the quartz, but which ones to use?
Greg has the jug after the first crux. Move left and roll onto the first hump. You can turn around and sit down if you want.
