The scramble up the first pitch of south crack. It's not a bad free solo if you are comfortable with stemming and chimney climbing. If you're not so experienced with that style rope up and bring some larger gear for the first 30 feet.

Start of the second pitch. The unknown climber is almost to the intermediate set of belay bolts.

South Crack looking up toward the Rappel

The summit, ridiculously awesomely huge rap bolts at the top.

Rappel off of these anchors. Go down the north side with a 70m rope so you don't get in the way of other parties on the route.

North rappel route. You touchdown on a nice boulder. It is a 5 minute Class 3 scramble to the east to get back to the start of South Crack.

The summit, newer bolts are available but hard core climbers still use these bad boys :)
