Description 

Step up from the large chockstone in the gulley to the first clip. Place some small pro below the overhang then step up while you clip the bolt above the overhang. Make the bolt protected mantle move and work your way up past 2 more bolts. The mental crux comes at bolt 3 as you step left. Once you reach the top rap off or TR Dark Side (5.10) or Jeff's Crack (5.9). Both are left of DarK Side. The upper pitch has nothing harder than 5.6 but provides a nice way to get to the top of P-Wall. After you make the top of P-Wall, work your way up to Sunnyside (5.9) and cruise to the summit.

Location 

Starts on top of the very large chockstone lodged in the gulley. Go up over the roof. Yes, it's only 5.8!

Protection 

Four (4) bolts, a small cam and a medium cam. Bring a couple long slings. The upper pitch can be protected w/both bolts and cams.
