Great day!!
Did the route in perfect conditions with no falls in 3 hours and 48 minutes. I felt that P2 had harder moves than the p5 headwall. The walk off is easy, awesome and should not be missed!! This route required much less effort to complete than epinepherine IMHO.

nice day
swung leads - I got the odds. Nice. surprisingly cold even in the sun. Walked off. We had nuts, Aliens to red, and camalots to #2, which was useful but not 100% needed.

awesome route
really good route- hung at the crux twice, but fired the rest clean. rapped with a single 70m (really close from 4 to 3- and it was a new cord)

FUN
Can link pitches with 70 meter rope
1-2 (watch the rope drag)
3-4 (exactly 70 meters)
5-6
Walk off is a great descent, worth doing.

Excellent
Approach is 1.5 hours via straightforward 4th class option referred to in Handren guidebook. Pitch 1 is excellent but insecure, with cruxes protected by gear, and pitch 2 goes through the intimidating roof on mostly big holds. The rest of the pitches have no surprises. Pitches 5-7 dish out a mean pump with sustained steepness on small holds. I thought it was bolted perfectly given the nature of the rock. The helmetless party below us sent a big chunk down on pitch 2.

Fun
Really good quality rock and climbing. We went to the summit (about 30 meters from the last belay bolts) and ate lunch before rappelling down. If you go to the summit bring some webbing for the rappel from a tree to the last anchors. I down-led 5.6 slab so we didn't have to leave gear behind. The .10d pitch is stout for the grade! Bring a very light rack as the route is pretty much a bolted crack. The approach is long and strenuous as well, but adds character to the route (and roots out the lazy and weak).

Great route, obnoxious approach though
Did this route with Lukasz on Friday, Feb 29 2008. The route is really great - it is sustained, has unique moves, tough (for me) crux and nice exposure (and is in the sun!) - its a pity the approach sucks so much. I had alot of trouble on the 11b roof and the 11c crux, and fell once on the 10d 7th pitch due to carelessness. Lukasz got the route clean up until the 5th pitch crux. We did most of the approach the night of Thursday, Feb 28, then bivyed on little ledges in the canyon wall. I kept getting woken up as a critter - maybe a ringtail - would try to get my chocolate soymilk I had brought for breakfast. I think the part of the approach we did the night before took us maybe 4 hours (we didn't quite make it to the two giant pines). We got up Friday morning, finished the approach (the slabby stuff looks a bit sketchy - like if you slip it would be really bad), climbed the route (the first 7 pitches anyway), rapped off and de-approached (took maybe 3-4 hours still!). Got back to the car about 24.5 hours after we left. Had planned to get a victory pizza dinner in Vegas, but were so tired that we just drove straight back to Pasadena instead. Oak Creek canyon wash is such a pain in the butt to hike through - particularly with a big pack - I wish someone would make a nice open trail in. We could have carried very little water and a water filter - there was plenty of water flowing through the wash. However, I'm not sure that is always the case - so planning on filtering most of ones water might be risky.
