Description:
This route follows a rough buttress, starting left of Black and Blue Velvet. Climb past two pitons; odd small arete above has ledge at bottom to prepare for crux move onto overhangs. Head for the roof, pull it and finish to anchors; or, go for second anchors above. Several no-hands rests. One of Pilot's "must do" favorites.

Red Point ascent by:
Finally led it.
Use a purple or green camalot if you want to protect between the first and second bolts. I went ahead and clipped the first two pitons, but I wouldn't recommend falling on them. Most people toprope it, but it makes for a great lead.

Top Rope ascent by:
Fun
Fun climb. To bad my fat ass had to hang on it. Dunno why I bother to log this it was a top rope. Whatever. Haha.

Nice to know the beta
It went up pretty easily while hanging the draws -- always nice to return to a route and have that happen -- but then I turned around and had a much harder time on TR. Funny how that goes. Pins are nasty looking, and it is nice to have a piece of gear to protect clipping the 2nd bolt.

Hang Dog ascent by:
take 2 (and 3)
Tried again on lead. Felt good but took a break and then blew the crux. Almost had it but grabbed the crappy little arete at the last bolt instead of the jug. Took a nice short flight (a clean fall) but got back on and sealed the deal with no further incident.
Update Oct 20 09 - returned and lead it again. This time managed to pull through the moves but had to hangdog just before the crux. Got a MUCH better sequence on that now and a clear idea of where the go-to hold is... Now I've just got to work on endurance and efficiency to link it all together for the redpoint. A great route and quite safe by pilot standards. A cam or nut for the crack before bolt 2 really is the way to go though.
