Pitch 2: Climb a left facing big fingers/tight hands flake above the belay (5.10) making it to a good rest then head toward the short offwidth section to a big finger section to the belay.
Pitch 3: Climb the chimney and then a 5.9 hand section making your way left to another chimney to the top belay from a tree up and left of the climb
