P3 (5.12-) - Ascend a few 5.10 cracks, then past a 5.11 slot with a fixed pin. Crux is the two bolts moving left (.12-). Belay with one bolt and gear in a finger crack.
P4 (5.11a) - Hands and fingers crack to crazy knobs and double crack. Belay at a fixed pin and a bolt.
P5 (5.11+) - Climb a flare crack that becomes a layback. Belay on 1" gear on a rightward bench.
