P2 - Follow the wild, left arching roof system out the biggest part of the overhang above. (.13)
This is a MJ special that is waiting for a second ascent....
Location
This route starts about 75' to the right of the Reptile Butress. Look for the striking crack system that leads to the middle of the Giant overhang.
Protection
The first pitch has three bolts before the obvious crack. You'll need to place some gear between the first and second bolts. Continue up the left leaning crack system for about 50' on natural gear to the belay stance. The second pitch is bolt protected.
I'm confused. Is this a crack or not? It's described as "trad", and mentions a striking crack system, but says the first pitch has a couple bolts and the second pitch is fully bolted. Sounds awesome, and a better description will probably make it sound even better.
The crack system on the first pitch does require gear. I've never done the climb but it looks to be about hand size. It's easily scoped from the ground so you'll be able to decide sizing & quantity no problem. If you get on it, let us know how it goes! Sorry for the confusion.
