Pitch 1.
Rob getting psych'ed up for the big runout...
The third pitch from below the Super Slab belay. The route traverses straight left to near the arete. Then up the face and, in places, the arete, to the overhanging headwall. It then diagonals right on positive 5.9 or so climbing to meet up with Super Slab near the top.
At the 3rd bolt after the step up move. We moved straight left to the arete from here to a thin layback flake (that takes a green Alien) and then up the arete. These moves left were the crux of the route for me following. Very thin feet then layback with no feet. It looks like you could climb straight up from where Vern is.
After the crux. There's a hard move up the the fixed nut (the third piece of gear) and then another hard move up and right. It's not really a finger crack--it's closed off except for a few openings which we used as laybacks. The original route went right from where Verne is, around the corner to the Super Slab P1 belay. The 11a roof variation is up and left from Vern. The recommended route then angles right above the roof to the arete of Dubious Grafitti.
Looking down from the top of the new 12a bolted variation on the last pitch.
