Rock
Strangely enough, gear + several bolts

Description:
First pitch climbed by Terry Andrews and Larry Osborn, 1978. Terry had to drop the rope and wait for Larry to climb up over him and lower a rope after he went farther up the dihedral than the belay spot and got scared. Second pitch climbed by Terry Andrews and Greg Schooley 1979. Starts with a short layback on a huge rough flake; rest of pitch is a big traverse under a short "roof" (relative to lowish-angle slab) with bomber feet to reach a two bolt belay (belay was originally composed of three bolts hence the name). Big and small cams (no medium). 2nd pitch starts with a scary hard move up into the bulge and then reach right for a jug and a pull over the overhang to a great splitter crack. At top of crack go right and up, clipping one bolt on the way. Entire route done without bolts originally, bolts were added after the first ascent.

Red Point ascent by:
3-Bolt
The rock just above the first belay station is really polished, but stemming off of the wall on the right makes this much more positive. There's a great bucket hold after making just a few moves off of the belay. Great photo opportunity to make it look like your second is actually leading on very exposed and vertical wall.
