Interesting Adventure
Good trad placements. First pitch is pretty classic with TONS of face features as well as crack work. We traversed from ramp to begin with over to crack and then headed up. Nice belay ledge with Acacia and shiny solid bolt. Second pitch was very laidback until halfway up when it changes to offwidth crack. We decided to go left there and traverse over and up. Don't know what we ended up on but the pro was good and the climbing was okay with lots of exposure towards the end (lots of loose stuff!). Rappell is over Charles II (not Henry VIII like the QCC Book says it is on the map) and is a TWO ROPE RAPPEL. There is a bolt more than halfway down but it's lonely with nothing else to sling easily.

Onsight ascent by:
It was great till the off width top.
Followed the first pitch and lead the first half of the second pitch. Did not feel like getting down and dirty with the off width, with no cam larger then a BD 4. Made anchor on ledge and then decided to rappel from there.
