Finally led this route, which I have followed 3 or 4 times over the years. I was happy to find I cruised it with no problems. Fun route, fully G-rated. Someone had recently added a bolted anchor right at the route end. Since there is gear placements, this will probably not remain for long. Besides, the bolters cheapened out by using only one quicklink. Considering how many gumby's will be TR'ing on that thing, I would suggest backing it up, or using the existing bolted anchors for Tender Flakes of Wrath just to the rear and west of the route....

Led after having followed the 1st part of route previously. Peter belayed.

Fun climbing with interesting sequences. The crux hold was a little greasy in the warm sun, and I almost came off. The second pitch is not evident. What "looks like the 2nd part, straight above, is a wretched thrutch I declined to lead. My partner did, and gave it 10a(I didn't follow). Then we went up what is actually the continuation, to the right, and up a chimney. The starting move is committing, and I was hesitant - finally my partner boosted me up until I got solid(so I can't say I led the 2nd part, but most people only do the start anyway, so.....).

The chimney goes through a small, but interesting, tunnel, and then some more alpine-ish style climbing(as in "which way should I go?") of ease.

Onsight lead, with Peter belaying. Scary start but fun.

Fun, once you decide where to step across and onto the route, as it begins by stepping right from an easy scramble up.

Quite a fun bit of climbing with variety. I went up through the chimney, though others climbed outside it.

Followed Tim(Pensylenvy). I couldn't get an arm bar in the OW and - as any Gunkie flummoxed by a gaping maw of a crack would - laid it back. The second cruxy section was quite fum.
