First headwall pitch after a dusting of snow.
This is unlikely if you drive carefully.
Blue = up, red = down.
Green = up, red = stupid way up, blue = down

The giant block near the notch, seen from the headwall.
The first rock pitch. The second pitch starts roughly 50-100 feet to the left of the end of this pitch. If the ledges are covered in snow (which they were when we were here) keep your eyes peeled for easy rock to the left. Going straight up gets chossy and weird.
