This *may* be the ring piton on P2 of Twin Oaks. Bill is belaying from a shady spot on the right-facing corner of Northern Pillar. This ring piton was 20-30 ft above the previous pro down below. Is this really P2?

Finger Locks rap station (where you wind up at top of P1 Twin Oaks). You can anchor here or keep going up the large crack at right to get to the second ledge where you can also build an anchor.

This small buttress is further left of our anchor on the secondary ledge in my previous photo. Is this the arch where we're supposed to go? Bill did that, and it didn't go well. He bailed onto Nothern Pillar using the sketchy ring piton to escape.
Is this the arching corner capped by an overhang (just left of the anchor)? I'm not sure. There's a similar feature further to the left that is obscured by the pine tree. We might have gone too far left, but this way didn't look confidence-inspiring.
