Slower party showed up on pitch 4 anchor.

Set up the first belay below the orange lichen, below the overhang alcove where you see the climber. You can see the 2nd belay ledge in upper right corner.

Pitch 4 of Crescent Arch

Route Overlay Crescent Arch.

Engaging the exciting 5.8 move

On follow. Beautiful corner

Crescent Arch is the obvious corner on DAFF dome

Engaging the so called crux. The move goes down from there.

Reaching for the great jug after sustained laybacking on pitch 2.

Michy cranking out the end of the "crux" pitch.

The start of a great route.

Pleased to be finished with the pitch.

Ginger follows on the Crescent Arch, Tuolumne Meadows

Definitely a distinctive arch feature!

looking up from P2 to the sustained P3 arch roof section

Coming up P3. I thought this pitch was insecure and much harder than the guidebook indicated.

Approaching clouds...yikes!

End of P1 belay pitons are crappy, with moldy webbing. Stay Away!
