I've finally started the pitch, which I always felt was the crux of the climb and the one that made me the most nervous

Almost there. Here I am trying to remove one of the cam protection devices. On all the pitches, I would collect each piece of protection that Andy put out. This last part of the pitch was the toughest for me and took the greatest amount of time. I had to try to wedge my body sideways in the large crack and use friction pressure on the rock to ascend. There was only one tiny flake for a foot hold but it always seemed to be an inch higher than I could reach. The only handhold was well within the crack but could not use it once my body was wedged in sideways. This was the only part of the climb where I actually took a "fall" (twice actually) when my foot slipped off of the rock.

FINALLY!!

Pitch 3 - Cussing Crack (30 ft.)

On my way....

Now a little traverse to the right, but the exposure was a little too much for me to look down at.

Just a short crack to climb to the end of the pitch

Pitch 4 - Flake Crack (40 ft.)

Pitch 5 - Chockstone Crack (40 ft.)

Pitch 6 - Jump Traverse (15 ft.)

Pitch 7 - The Meadows Traverse (200+ feet to the summit)
The Meadows Traverse was essentially a traverse hike and then some vertical rock scrambling to the top.
