At the far right side of the Northwest Recess are 2 parallel cracks that merge 200 feet up. The left is the Wong climb and is a good direct start to the Long climb. Climb the left crack up 150 feet to a 2 bolt anchor. the 2 pitch move over to the right crack, take that up and join the Long Climb. Take the Long Climb to the top. This 2nd pitch is not popular and involes a strenuous sqeeze chimney with some loose chockstones
The first pitch is really good, and I thought not hard for 5.8. THen finish with Long climb for a great outing. Some bigger pieces are nice to have along on the route, 3 & 3.5 or 4.
The mummy actually protects well with smaller gear.
The first pitch is incredible, great jams, couple little buldges, best 5.8 i've been on. 150' rap if you're lazy but you should really finish up the long climb. You can also TR the 5.10 slab to it's left.
