I seem to remember that it carried on across range wall and topped out near pullthrough. On led on three bolts and a limestone chockstone. This had the great effect of being able to disrupt 20+ climbs at once! Those were the days

My reading of this route is that it should finish up the next crack right from the one in your picture, where there is still, just, the remains of a rotting stump.
