Quite a busy day on Knapsack. Belay at the tree then again where the crack narrows and there's a small ledge.

Looking up from pitch 1 from here you can see where both belays are located.
Pitch 1 is a very easy scramble to the belay tree, unless you want to finish the climb in 2 pitches.
Nothing but smiles after this route!

Somewhat grainy - bottom of knapsack by a 3/4 moon. The moon hadn't emerged from behind hogsback until we were into the second pitch. Snow on the ground - made for much more interesting climb.
