If you really need them, photos of the problem can be found in the guidebooks mentioned.

Probably the best warm-up at Stinson and quite fun!

Start low on the left end of the arête and traverse up and right. Either finish on the massive pyramid jug (slightly loose) near the top or top out. Bring some pads and some friends to keep you safe as you top out if you haven't climbed at Stinson before. Falling on the sand from the top would probably not be very fun.

The heavily chalked and juggy arête on the southwest side of the Old Woman.

A couple pads for the top would be ideal, sand landing from the top wouldn't be that fun.
