Comments: If you are following the easiest path (left side) have some fun and leave the gear at home. 1 hour hike up, 1.5 hour climb, 1.5 hour hike out.....5 minute swim in the lake.

Comments: The first 3 bolts are pretty darn cool! I found this route to be easier than "Just Do Me," requiring more finesse than muscle.

Comments: Ignore your gut reaction to follow the crack past the second bolt. traverse out right to large hueco, take a breath, and sprint on up.
