At the top of the initial corner. It's about 5.9 here. After this you move left. Isis is the huge corner to the right.
The last roof is about 5.8 but very airy, as you pull over to teeter right on the arete. It seems more logical to climb this roof on the left, but that's quite difficult. Lenny Miller belaying.

Great photo with great light! I am dead center in the photo but barely visible. Isis is the huge sunny right facing dihedral. There are hard routes up the sunny face. Photo by Chuck Graves.
Another pretty picture with great light showing the entire route and the Isis buttress. Chuck is making the easy but intimidating traverse right after the crux.
I was trying to avoid rope drag by starting high and left on a pedestal and traversing into the route. It didn't really cut down on drag (though drag wasn't terrible), but it did make me about 20 feet runout on 5.9 thin face moves.
Below the final ceiling. You can see how Greg worked the double ropes. There was bad rope drag on the left rope after the final traverse right. Use 2 or 3 long runners on the last piece on the left rope. Once you are at the belay, flip the left rope left so that it runs straight up for the second.

Starting the second crux. The goal is to reach the jug diagonally up and right from Chuck's head. The King Tut crux climbs left of the hanging purple rope at the short left leaning, left facing corner. Lenny Miller belaying.
On the 10a crux. Lenny Miller belaying.
Above the first route. The route climbs the moderate right facing corner below Chuck. The purple rope on the left is dangling from the anchors. Chuck is following on the purple and turquoise twin ropes. This is how your rope would run if you were climbing on a single. Lenny Miller belaying.
Getting gear after the last crux. I was stressed here, but it turns out you can sit on the horn by my right hand. The traverse right from here looked intimidating, so I wanted good gear, but the traverse turned out to be easy. Photo by Chuck Graves.
