Pitch 2 is awesome. Route-finding afterwards can be a bit difficult.

Climbed this with Nathaniel Ross, who I met on RC.com, he had good experience at Idyllwild and leading elsewhere, nearly an epic: we waited in line to start, then assisted two incompetent middle-aged guys down from the top of the first pitch, the jam crack pitch was gorgeous, but then we got off route as I was leading above that on to some nasty terrain that was unexpectedly hard, Nathaniel got some bad rope drag going on a short pitch, had some shitty hanging belay on little aliens, finally made it up to an easy gully to the top just as it was getting too dark to climb easily, stumbled our way down the north gully descent in pitch dark, and then got really lucky to find our packs at the base, got back to the car finally at like nearly 11:00pm just over 12 hours after we started with a liter of water and a granola bar for both of us....long day, nice crack, though.

This was not as great as I expected. The long crack on the second pitch is a little wider and not as fun as I anticipated.

Carried passive gear only (1 set nuts, and hexes). I also BOOTIED a purple Metolius #0 TCU on pitch 2. Damn, people really don't know how to clean gear. It only took 5 minutes of work. I really liked this route, and would give it 2 stars just because of pitch 2.
