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.

I'm now infamous w/ a couple of my partners for having 'humped' my way through the crux (glad I wasn't climbing it in the traditional style...); hope to return to this one & finish it in better form.

Pretty fun climb with an awful hanging belay after the first roof.

Onsight ascent by:
A Classic
Just did this 26 years after the first time in 1983. It was just as enjoyable. Forgot the ceiling move sequence, and used a poor-style knee bar to clear the ceiling. Next time will be more smooth.

Red Point ascent by:
fun and tough
for 5.6. that famed roof was tough for a shorty (5'2) like me. the mini roof in the 4th pitch was no give-away either.
