Beta for people like myself who are new to route finding. <br>

P1: 140 feet. Traverse right after bulge at top to belay ledge<br>
P2: 130 feet: Climb up 20-30 feet, then traverse out left to arete. Beached Whale move at end<br>
P3: 190 feet. Start with 20ft Chimney, then traverse around around arete to a piton, move right 10 more feet and then 160' up of sustained, easy 5.6 climbing.

Brett negotiating the second pitch of corrugation corner. 5.7 doesn't get much more fun than this!

Route tracing: From this angle p2 belay is estimated. The belay is just prior to a short chimney.

Looking down after coming up the awesome variation to pitch 3, taking the chimney up to the left crack instead of traversing right onto the face. A great way to finish the route.

Probably 5.8 dihedral. Thanks to lovers leap guides!

Head jam in the chimney!

Making headway up the exposed arête - towards the "beached whale" move that brings you into the chimney space. The perfect spot for a 3-piece anchor in the rocks.
