Start of the West Ridge. Starts by the two dead trees in the lower right and climbs the white streak up through the tree in the middle of the face.

At the first of 2 raps down to the gully just under burgundy col. Be careful getting to the slings, and be wary of lose rock on these raps
jamming up twin cracks pitch 4
P5 options to regain the ridge
Lilly high on the west ridge
Looking down while leading Pitch 6 of Paisano. It's easy to generate a lot of rope drag on this pitch so I ran it out on easy terrain.
Crux 5.8+ Pitch 4 of Paisano Pinnacle. I thought this was some of the best climbing on the route.
