Scoping out the 5.9 finish. We turned the triangle roof right (top right of photo) after short thin fingers dihedral. Spicy! Trend right above that on nice easy liebacking to another challenging roof. A great next pitch addition to the Hiatus P3 black groove 5.8R. Lumpy delivers time and time again.

Red variation described below in my comments.
The long second pitch.
The line with options.
P3 near topping out, guess it's really the Dog finish?
"A bit slabby".
Coming up P-3 of Hiatus.
P2: Kody, where you have to trust feet and look around a little. Picture makes the rock look more vertical than it is. He's standing vertical.
P2 in its entirety from second belay. Had big cams for the flake, so used them. Double rope technique is very helpful for a climb like this! Takes a little more management effort at belays, but once climbing, it is much nicer, IMO.
Traversing below the roof on the first pitch.
P3: Kody pulling up on the knob above the optional walk-off ledge. Rope line is very climbable at 7+. Pro attached to red sling is on the WW line.
Me starting the route... the dreaded roof can be seen in the distance.
Lot's of "hands free" stances on the second pitch.
