wow... great description.

Anyway, this was my first valley lead several years ago. I think the reid guide shows it as 3 pitches, but it's great to do it in 2 with a 60m rope. There are three trees on the route. CLimb to the 3rd tree, make a hard left, 10' to the corner. A nice little ledge where you can sit and belay. Another long pitch to the top.

Don't forget to scramble up a farely obvious ramp to the tree/bush/ledge and begin the 1st pitch there.
