"Pitch 4" past the exposed section and looking up at the "aesthetic" section of 4. That is, if you decide to stay left of the true ridge past the piton. During "pitch 2" there was an option to go right half way up the lichen covered slab instead of left.

Looking down from pitch 4 onto pitch 3. <br> Blue x is approx. where the anchor was built after the unprotected bulge into the left facing corner at the top of 3 <br> Red x is approx. where the piton was, hiking up the walkable moss/dirt and black lichen terrain.
Looking down on pitch 2. The left facing corner system with good gear and clean climbing :) just before the black lichen covered tricky to protect slab climbing of pitch 3 (insert sweating smiley face emoji)
Asgard from Midgard. The SW ridge climbs the cracks just right of the sun-shadow line from the col. The south face is in sunlight and the north ridge is in profile at far left
