looking down P1. To avoid most of the wetness I climbed an overlap to the right of the cracks then traversed back left to reach the corner. This was runout but better than wet mossy rock.

Don't leave gear you care about at the plateau; the marmots may get it. Not depicted: my climbing partner's shredded Patagonia pack.
