Description:
A classic. Begin on the far right side of the upper ledge system that begins at the Yellow Spur. Combine pitches one and two into a long 5.9 pitch. Pitch two tackles the difficult dihedral and pulls onto a ledge. Pitch three tackles the big roof on jugs and then goes to a 1-2 inch crack. Rap down Mickey Mouse Nailup with two ropes.

Fantastic
Almost onsighted the dihedral pitch. Came down after a fall and cruised it the next try. The original third pitch actually jumps left a little and is 5.8. We decided to tackle the roof finish variation which I flailed because of a cam getting trapped by the rope on top of it and because it was so damn cold.

Seconded
Sean once again paved the way to another epic opportunity for me to climb harder multipitch routes I would otherwise not have been able to do. This was another superb climb that I would aspire to lead one day myself!

Led the route in two pitches. Great climbing, especially out that huge roof.

cool!
I came so close to onsighting this route, I fell on the crux pitch just a few feet from the belay, lowered off rest a bit and then sent it second try

So nice. Watch out for your rope in the crack at the lip of the roof.
