The route goes up the ridge with the lone island of trees on the lower middle of the photo, curling up in a “C” shape to the summit.
This is from the approach gully, looking up the the beginning of the ridge which is on the left.
Jeff leading up a really loose section on the lower ridge below the first “official” pitch.
This is looking up to the first pitch with some bolts. The route winds right rather than hitting the ridge head on.

Ummm... Jeff's water bottle
This is the first pitch from the belay station. Getting around that corner to the second bolt is a little awkward.
Jeff took this from the top of pitch 2 looking down to me and Sandy at the base of it. I'm busy belaying Daniel up pitch 1 (photo courtesy Jeff)

Looking back down from the base of the third pitch.
Just a few feet up the third pitch looking down towards Daniel.
And looking up the third pitch... Sandy looks excited.
Daniel unsure where to go... up is the only answer.
Sandy, just before the block supporting her left foot blew.
Walking the last bit to the summit. Might have been good to have a short rope on some portions as the ridge was exposed and littered with little pebbles. As if you couldn't probably tell from looking.
Atop, there's a huge, open, flat area!
Sandy and I make our way down to the rappel station (photo courtesy Jeff)

Looking back to the summit block and the rappel. There's a 5.5 route up the corners in the center, a .510ish bolted route right of that and our 2 pitch rap route further right, beginning atop the triangle block that can be found by following the ridge from summit to the right side of the photo. There is another rap route west of the summit above the 5.5 and 5.10 route, but the hangers were a little loose.
Sandy and Daniel in the descent gully.
The ridge (left) profile as seen on the descent. The first bolted pitch was just at the treeline mid-photo where the terrain visibly steepens. We did belay one short ridge section in the absolute lower left corner of the photo.
One more look back at the route at the end of the day.
