For 5.7, get to the steep crack that starts after some face climbing slightly right of center, not the continuous crack leading into a slight overhang on the left (pitch 3). Some fun hand jams and exposure.

The Swift. You can easily see the 2nd belay ledge. The rock feature where it looks like a reverse "D".

I hope this helps you stay away from the evil crack and transitions you onto the face!

Tight quarters. 1st pitch belay ledge.

Here is a picture of Lori at the end of the first pitch.

Roxi just after the crux on the 3rd pitch. Set up a belay in a notch, to keep easy communication. It's a jaunt to the top from here.

Bene on the crux of The Swift. This is where the route goes right onto the eret.

On top of The Swift and completely staged picture. Great climb!

Neale's self portrait of his foot just after stepping onto the arete. Great exposure here!

This is were we started (you can see Dan a the bottom of the photo looking up at the route). (photo by my friend Lori)
