Any route or boulder problem that starts out of or near an occupied campsite may not be done without first obtaining the campsite occupant's permission.
If you think you might like to struggle up off-widths, this is a good place to start. Duchess Right (aka "Crack Kills" among my friends and I) features 10-20 feet (depending on how early you exit onto the face to the right) of classic 5.7 off-width. As a bonus, it's easily TR'd. Bust out that #6 Friend and go for it.
Protection
Wide stuff. Long slings for belay. A well-placed anchor will allow you to TR this, Duchess, and Duchess Left.
Beauty route. I used small aliens near the bottom crux, and a little heel-toe action to climb through this section. If you want a fun challenge at the grade, give it a go.
