JV wrote in the route database that one needs a #5 Cam for Consolation. Is that for the flared slot if one goes straight (instead of joining Whodunit) above where Consolation and Whodunit meets?
I am a relatively new 9 trad leader (9's onsight : 2nd pitch of Central Pillar of Frenzy and last pitch of Reed Pinnacle Direct at Yos, Overseer at JT). I should be fine on Consolation?
Moving to the W. side, is there a more interesteing way to finish Coffin Nail than Jensen's Jaunt?

No need for anything that large...that is true for just about any route at Tahquitz.

Should be.

Yes. Cross over Jenson's Jaunt at the point where Traitor Horn heads off right and belay in the first alcove. Finish up Traitor Horn, a fun and classic finish.
