Sorry for the previous incorrect photo! THIS is the summit ridge. Mostly not exposed, but we belayed it in 2 pitches to the trees.

The horizontal summit ridge is mostly not at all exposed, but we belayed it anyway in 2 pitches to get to the trees.
The anchor at the top of P1. This pitch was 40m.

Pitch 4: which way do you want to go?
This is how we did P1. After traversing left and moving over the overhang I was a bit gripped, climbing off of a couple of tiny brass nuts. Didn't see the bolt mentioned in the comments and therefore wasn't sure I was on route.
Pitch 4: slab to the upper roof dihedral is recommended.
Pitch 1: the second fixed pin, just after a small roof.
Pitch 5: The Ridge portion of The Ridge, still roped up with a short section of rope.
Pitch 1: looking down from the first small roof. Observe the protection and spacing.
Near the second belay, looking south.
The first pin on pitch 1.
Pitch 1: Texas two step traverse left on pitch 1 at the small roof. Use a longer runner.
Piz Badille from the north, 8AM.
Pitch 2: fixed pin with a ring followed by the previous pin without a ring.
