Followed Katie O on the 5.6 route with the 5.9 crack variation. Tag team hang dog pp lead of the 5.9 crack.

There was nobody at the base of this climb when Lisa, Cindy and I got to the base. Really cool intro climb to take some one on their first multi-pitch. Don't forget your headlamp for the descend if you want to catch the sunset from the top.

I liked the fist pitch, second was just a scramble. The 5.9 variation looks good though. One funky move at the top of P1.

Fun but a little too easy.

Good route

This climb is one of the most over rated ones I've ever been on. The first pitch has 1 semi-interesting move on it and the second "pitch" is 4th class. Over crowded and boring. The 5.9 variation looked fun, but unfortunately I had a beginner friend with me so we went the easy route.

Bottom line, skip it and go somewhere else more interesting.

Fun and easy. Keep going to the top and walk down the back side. The descent down the front side is a bit scary. Start early to avoid the crowds.

Really fun route, we did the 5.9 crack by accident and it was a pretty exciting but there is good protection but a fall at the top of the 5.9 crack with out a good piece is a bad idea (reason for the pg13), the rest is G-.
