Instead of doing the long left traverse on P1...climb up and right following the obvious crack system. Makes linking the first 2 pitches quite manageable. Very natural line....with a spot of well protected 9+/10a laybacking.
After the first crux, at least for me: pulling on a finger-lock to step back around into this sloping concavity. Otherwise, you might go up the wrong dihedral (a straight corner instead of the arch).<br> [photo: Paul Dale]

The start of the route. Follow the left of two left-facing corners to the top, cross some blocky loose rock to the second left-facing corner, up this then choose your adventure.

Start of the crux pitch at the end of the grassy ledge. The pink tat was fixed. The other climbers are at the bottom and top of Vertigo's Half Moon Crack. Photo by Paul Dale.
