Description:
From the large flat area where you survey this section of the wall 'Sea Gypsy' is a bit to your left. An Island ClassicP1: The original start begins on the vegetated left side of the footstool like projection from the base of the cliff (5.6). Alternately go up the right side at 5.8. At the top of this footstool is a 2b stance, either continue up to the next anchors (as was the original route) or stop and belay. From this anchor go straight up past a bolt to a left trending crack and some gear. Follow this crack to the second 2B anchor.
P2: This pitch wanders right off the belay and heads right to a fixed pin, then around a corner to the right, then back left to the obvious spectacular hand crack. Pull this perfect crack in a breataking location and up to a final 2B anchor.
Decent: A 60m rope makes the ground from the top of P2. If using a shorter cord work toward the 'Chitlin's Corner' or 'Return to Forever' anchors.

A tough climb, have your lead shoes with you and don't fall. Serious climbing, and stiff for the grade. A caption accompanying a photo of this route in a recent mag called it 5.10b R.
