Maybe you meant photo 8? That was the hardest part. You can't see in the photo but it widens out to the right, so you can get up on that ledge. IIRC we used a handline up and down - there were 4 of us so easy to do - just as a measure of safety, but if you can get down OK you can probably get back up. But if you're solo, that would be a hard place to get any kind of rescue signal out.
Here's the climb. Note the climber's legs at the top. That person is an excellent climber btw. The photo makes it look a bit more vertical than my memory. You have to go up the smoothed and curvy chute / crack to the right of the climber.
