Chuck checking out the original p3. The recommended third pitch heads straight up from the belay, as opposed to heading to the obvious dihedral to the right of the belay.

Robin belaying me up the 4th pitch and Ryan finishing his lead of the 3rd pitch

Wes near the final bit of the approach - "death talus" may be an overstatement. Some loose rock, but pretty chill hike.

The 10a variation of the last pitch is money! Thanks to Kerr Adams for the awesome shot!

An attempt at marking the route Second Coming. 1st pitch - mostly not shown; 2nd pitch - one variation shown and top belay can be rope-length dependent; 3rd pitch - rough approximation; 4th pitch - take your pick!

The original line goes up the large chimney/flake left of the tree.

Belay ledge at the bottom of P3. A solid pin that can be backed up with small stoppers.
