Description:
Start left of a huge dihedral, climb an easy face to a decent belay ledge. Second pitch is very fun and steep 5.5 to a huge ledge under the obvious roof. The third pitch pulls the large(for 5.6!) roof and continues past another bulge to the top. Very classic, and the third pitch is often combined with Strictly From Nowhere for a stouter outing.

Lead 3rd pitch. It doesn't get much more classic than two roofs on a six. I remember it like yesterday...I'm equalizing pieces with locking biners under the roof while my belayer is on the walkie talkie trying to get girls back to the campsite later...classic

This time it was dry
Now that the route has dried from last nights rain we came back to complete this one. Kevin lead the first pitch and I lead the second. Kevin lead the final pitch and I'm glad he did. This would have had my attention on lead, very hard committing move onto the ceiling.

Definitely belay above the big ceiling
A) you can hear your partner, B) get your gear back to protect the surprisingly hard upper bulge. I was on a marginal tricam, having used all my 1.5" and larger gear down low.
