The route wanders out left of the arch for some pro and features. Then back right to the arch for the finish over the overlap/roof.

Looking up at the arch.
Mike just over the arch. I don't recommend this belay spot, probably best to belay at the start of the arch
Hope at the summit
A climbing party on the route, seen from the slabs above Lunch Ledge. The leader is on the face to the left of the arch, which I understand is where the route goes.
Start of the arch perfect 2 and 3's for the anchor
