The yellow line shows the Nose, with the belay above the roof. The red line shows Alabama Crack with the belay on the arete. There are large loose blocks just below the last fixed piton near the top of Alabama. Hope this helps!

The green line is the line I took. It is super sketchy going through the first roof. All the blocks make creaking noises when you pull on them, and I would put it at at least 9+.
Rappelling from top anchor to P2 station.

This picture shows the direct start variation that has 4 pins before one enters Alabama Crack proper. They are old but seemed solid enough at the time of writing. You can also place a decent #2 near pin 2.

An evening lap. Beautiful with a bit of exposure over the canyon.
The Alabama Crack splits the west face. The Nose goes out directly over the roof.
