Pitch 4: Across the cat walk, upwards then wraps around to the right spiraling up towards the summit
Pitch 3: Up a short crack, move across level terrain for a bit until the next climb towards a tree.

The legendary "Oak of Five Trunks" is now an oak with four trunks. This marks the start of the route (route goes straight back in this photo).
Lindsey Jackson takes in the view on the 2nd to last pitch. There is a crack that starts right where she is standing that could take you to the summit more directly.

Pitch 2
Shot from top of P2, on the large ledge. This is where the views start getting good. (just above the rusty 2 bolt anchor)

Pitch 2: "shattered chimney" but doesn't require chimney technique. Lots of loose rock.
