Description:
Start about 30' right of the alcove where Healy's Haunted House begins at the obvious left facing dihedral. Pitch 1: Head up the dihedral to a sling belay. 5.7, 190' Pitch 2: Head up the cool looking flake until it ends, step right to a bolt, then head up to a ledge and belay. 5.8, 50' Pitch 3: Cross the ledge to the right and ascend the groove, stepping right when a bolt appears. Traverse right, then head up, stopping when a belay stance appears. 5.7, 120' Pitch 4: Head up the crack system above until it ends and cross the ledge to a two bolt belay. 5.7+, 150' Pitch 5: Head up the thin crack above and traverse directly right when possible to belay below an obvious left facing dihedral. 5.8, 150' Pitch 6: Climb the dihedral (and the face just left) to the summit. 5.7, 195'. Variation: Instead of traversing right halfway up Pitch 5, continue straight up to belay on a big ledge below an obvious crack in the varnished headwall. For the final pitch, work your way up to the base of the crack and climb it. 5.8/5.9, 100'Descent Options:
Descend by walking back to the gully and turning left, evenutally joining the Tunnelvision descent.

good route
a good route, although its quite run-out and the rock is still a bit sandy (will clean up in time...) as an added note- the 2nd pitch of this route was my 1000th pitch climbed (of course i did lead it....otherwise it wouldnt count!)....cool, huh?
