Slings, etc are still on the tree, but we built our own anchor off the tree for good measure.
The walkoff is also straightforward, but just be prepared for a funky and exposed 3rd class move about half way across the cliff band.

By: zachw When: Mar 31, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: First pitch is a gem for beginning leaders. So many bomber nut placements! The second pitch, though, is a bit more awkward. If teaming up with an experienced leader, the beginner should probably lead P1 and then clean P2 to see how its done on an easy but funky RR crack.
Bolted anchor at first belay. Build your own anchor at the top in the obvious cave. Make sure to bring a camera for the ubiquitous vegas pic at the top.
Also consider the bolted 5.9 to the left (4 pitches?)
