Description:
A nice route that gets a ton of traffic. All the belay ledges are huge (except for Pitch 2, which is currently a chimney belay with two bolts, a smallish ledge just below it is an alternative if the bolts are not there.) Watch the first 15' of this route, dont put any pro in or the rope drag will kill you. Traverse right and cruise up the crack system. Pitch 3 is run out, but easy. Pitch 4 is fun. Pitch 5 is the tunnel (bring a headlamp and some tricams, look for the 'P' on the slabs in the tunnel). Pitch 6 is fun, as is Pitch 7. You can escape left at the top of 6. Descent: See Group Therapy. JSJ42: You can do this (easily) in three pitches with a 70m rope. Each one uses all the rope and be judicious with gear).

Tons of variety
fun stuff. Tunnel pitch is interesting - take a strong headlamp. We were happy to do the bolted variation (5.9) around the crux, runout chimney pitch. Taking this variation makes the tunnel hard to find - to the right of the flake after the bolts end. Good pro except in the tunnel and the start. The start is easier than it looks.

fun morning out
good morning out. there's a stuck #5 camalot (old style) on P3 for anyone feeling industrious. also, the rap station in the gully is no longer present (nor is it needed). from the spot where the gully cliffs out, cross west over the fin on your right to the 4th class downclimb. enjoy!
