View up the start of Pitch 3 from the large tree. The climb stays a bit to the right of the corner at first, to avoid some vegetation, but returns to the corner for the remainder of the climb.

Amy Harvey coming up Pitch 1. The small tree just below her and little to her left is weak and should be avoided as an anchor.
Second half of Pitch 2 is in the large, right-facing corner to a belay above the tree, if your are ambitious. Or it goes up the crack on the right to the large tree if you are more conservative.

On approach, turn right and leave the bottom of Rabbit Ears Canyon just before the large tree dominating this image. The dead tree and the sotol (yucca) on top of the large boulder make good landmarks.
Bucky Blue as viewed from the approach to the Lambda Wall. The leftmost version is my favorite, and harder than going for the big dead tree.
Pitch 1
Pitch 1 belay is just to the right of the roof. Below the big tree in this image.
