Classic Crack of Calico 

Fun route. Chossy first section in the gully is a solid deterrant for anyone looking for a Birdland type experience. Best done in 3 pitches, Dow's Summitpost page on it has it dead on, with the exception that the third pitch is more like 125'.

P1 200' Gully unfun to ledgy, crumbly crappo with (new)#5 walking for a ways (there's other pro but the 5 feels nice walked above as you step on old sugar cookies repeatedly). Rock improves after a ways and then gets fun before getting ledgy and annoying (watch drag just under roof) as you head to the anchor ledge below the splitter OW. Lots of anchor options here, all comfy.

P2 45' The crux gets in your face right away, but safe as houses, a little crack boulder problem that is awkward but fun to figure out. Short crux to nice but brief varnished corner to ledge. I anchored further back and belayed at a stance below the lip of the ledge, comfy on medium cams. My partner has small hands and had to do a few fist stacks where I made quick work of the crux; actual offwidth technique not a bad idea to have under your belt if you're little.

P3 The money pitch. Long, fun, pretty, funky. Worth every minute of hiking and chossaneering. Anchor on top is more crunchy than I had wished; looking around more than I did might give better results.

Dow's beta on the walkoff was right on. Going for the second gully was money, most was cairned but still ledgy downclimbing here and there. Probably a 20 minute walkoff, puts you a couple hundred flat feet right of the start.

I took a 6 and never used it; the doubled cams to 3 were very useful, and there were a few realy money wire placements as well.

Just did this yesterday and what a route. Killing's description is right on, but I found the first pitch to be pretty fun. The wide crack and crumbly sections were serious and kind of sucked but the 25-30' of finger crack was technical and make you earn the first belay. Both the roof on the 2nd pitch and the money 3rd pitch are funky. I thought to myself on more than one occasion, "I've never done a move like that." The roof move was over with a knee bar and a long reach for me. 5.9 climbers might be more comfortable on the 3rd pitch with several cams smaller than .75 camalots and should definitely remember the mantra "its only 5.9". Jugs where you need them keep the climbing at the grade.
