This climb is a blast. P1 is vastly different from P2. They are both a lot of fun. P1 has a slightly strenuous set of moves (layback) but with great hands and feet. I did not find the first moves on P1 awkard, perhaps it's because I am very short. BETA WARNING: There is a great hold that's not part of teh layback that will get you started to the layback. It's parallel with the nose of the layback but out further. P2 is a nice cruiser on very steep, exposed orange rock. Beautiful horizontals all the way up. The real surprise was the final roof before the GT ledge. Sent out an exploratory hand a couple of times before hitting the key hold. Very fun and highly recommended.
Watch out for several "x" blocks on P2. P1 belay tree is dead, recommend building a gear anchor.
