Jon McCartie mid-crux on Diagnostics. If the first 15 feet of this route went on for a hundred or so, it would be quite the classic. Alas, it suffers from the JTree "if only it were longer" syndrome.
Fun climb. Me belayed by Agina Sedler

I did the start of Diagnostics straight in the crack. The beginning is harder than I'd expect from a 5.6. Super fun though. Used .75 to 3 for gear. Belayed by Jamie. Photo by Mary.
I decided to get onto the face near the top. No protection but easier climbing.
Half way up, just about to transition to the face.
