At the top of the crack on the second pitch and about to start the traverse. It looks like a lot of gear on the traverse, but most of it is "no good".

The second pitch. Climbing the crack after traversing under the roof. Make sure to extend your pro or you will die!<br> Climber to the right is on Gobbler´s Grunt.
The top of pitch 1 if you do the route as 2 pitches (instead of 3).

Starting up pitch 1.
The airy unprotected traverse on P2. I am at the start of P3 for Gobbler's Grunt. I think you can go up a little higher on the traverse and sew it up with insecure smaller gear, but the difficulty never exceeds 5.7.
Starting the last pitch.
Midway across the traverse on pitch two.
The first belay.
Finishing the first pitch crack.
The upper pitches of Southern Comfort.
