its a bit of a pain that section. The first time i climbed it was solo and I leap frogged number 1 and 2 cams along the crack ( i had two of each), I then re-climbed this section to clean it.
The second time i climbed it, I placed a piece of gear straight off the belay. I then back cleaned the rest of the pitch. My second lowered off the mallion on the anchors and he jugged straight up, simpler but more dangerous.
Good luck with the chimneys above :)
