Description
Pitch 1: Stellar. Big Hands to fingers. Takes you to the big ledge with a two bolt anchor.
Pitche 2: is the crux offwidth pitch where you go around several bulges. There are plenty of face holds and features, so one doesn't have to do any real offwidth climbing. Bring lots of slings and stretch the second pitch a full 60 meters to gain a ledge (past the squeeze which is slick!) and belay.
Pitch 3: The last pitch is mostly easy terrain, but watch out for extremely loose rock on the last hundred feet.
Location
The route starts up the right side of a giant A on the west, outside of the gully. To your left it a left trending crack. You can either do the right of left side of the A. The right is 10- and the left 11ish fingers.
Protection
A set of nuts, Doubles from #0.3-4 Camalots. One #5. Two ropes for the rap unless you don't mind a little down climbing on easy terrain on the last rap.
A great alternative to the beginning of the second pitch is to traverse directly left off the belay to the second crack system. Climb face and a crack/seam into a nice, left-facing, thin crack.
