can't remember exactly
when i did this first but i usually do this climb every time i'm at lost dome. one of my favorites. i saw larry fuson at the airport (he lives in sacromento california now) he told me about his attempt with mark herndon belaying when he fell and hit his head. he said that he had pulled over bulge then fell...no pin then so he had gone all the way to that ledge below.....

Fuson's Folly
This is a well protected crack climb until you get to the body sized chimney. The friction climbing alternative to the body chimney probably goes at about 5.9.
