Description:
This is an outstanding route, a real classic. The climb is located just left of Jim Dandy. Climb a long pitch up the slab roughly following a crack system, full rope length. There is a bolt belay station at the top of the pitch. You will see the Peek-A-Boo move across from your stance. Clip the bolt and pull across the gap, follow the traverse to the next crack system and follow it up until you can get back on the face at the end of the roof. You can go up, rap off, or traverse to lunch ledge from here. The gear is excellent on this climb.Descent Options:
Requires 2 ropes if rappelling down from 2nd pitch to first pitch belay on Jim Dandy! Free-hanging rappel. Don't send someone who's never rappelled especially without a backup..

Worth the hype
Finally decided to try this one out. Had built up the crux more than it needed to be but the fun factor is well worth the hype. Felt a couple run out spans on the first pitch, but easy terrain where they were. Found two bolts at the bottom of the first pitch? Enjoyed the whole route, happy to have it done.
Edit - be sure to extend runners on about everything on the first pitch to avoid drag if you have much clipped down low. I placed 1 piece with a 4' sling extended before finding the bolts with a 15-20' space between, slung everything else with 2 footers extended and rope drag was not an issue.
