Rob is going for it on the approach pitch to the lighting bolt crack. This is a scrappy pitch with a stimulating runout to get to the corner.

Looking down from the top of P1 showing the 30' runout. The last piece is just above my partner and ends with a 0.75s crack in the overlap 15' below the belay.

The obvious "J" Crack on the left is pitch 5 of The Godfather. The "Lightning Bolt Crack" to the right is pitch 6 of Arrowplane.

Pitch 6, Lightning Bolt Crack.

Pitch 4. This is the only part of the route where you might want a #4. However, once you get to the place where you can plug in a #4, you can fit in a #3 about 6 inches higher and a smaller cam just 6 inches above that. So no #4 is needed for the route.

Pitch 4. Start to the right in a crack you cannot see from the left end of the ledge.

Pitch 2. Make sure to traverse to above the hummock.

Pitch 1.

The top of pitch 1, the R section. It feels like you are a ways from your last piece, but the climbing is 5.8....

Downclimbing some 4th Class after the 2nd rappel. We rapped with a single 70m, but the downclimbing was fairly easy.
