God's Own Drunk 

A beautiful corner with many solid gear options. The crux is pretty much the first 30-40 feet of climbing while fishing in gear...perhaps this 8+ is a touch underated, but not by much...expect a tough 8 at any rate. After that, the going is solid and eases up a bit to the obvious ledge out right of where the corner eases to low 5th class exit on right. The anchors at the ledge are old and should be replaced with stainless bolts and hangers since this is an obviously well-traveled classic. We bailed after the first pitch due to oncoming rain and thunder, but it looks like the meat and potatoes is the first pitch anyways. Set of stoppers, one each of 0.5-3 Camalots, and my first piece was a BallNut about 15 feet up.

This is best done as a single pitch. At the first pitch ledge, ignore the anchors that would take you up and right only to come back left again for P2, creating drag for both pitches. Instead, just keep climbing up past the belay ledge, past the bushy ledge, and up a corner and crack past the old fixed stopper, and to the summit ridge. Take plenty of gear and slings, it is a straight shot to the top (~60meters). Then move the belay up and right for 30' of 5.5 climbing to the rap anchors.

While two 70m ropes would get you to the ground from the top anchor, you would stand to loose them, stuck in boulders on the ledge when you pulled them, so...
Rap on a single rope (60M or 70M) down and hard left to the first ledge belay station, then on a single 70M to the ground. A single 60M would be VERY close to being down even without rope stretch and should work just fine if you swing uphill (left) on the raps.
We had tons of rope on the ledge at the first rap we had ~5 meters of rope laying on the ground on each end of our 70M after rapping on a single line.

It has been a long time since I first climbed this route. Climbed it today and it sure felt like 5.10-. Similar to the difficulty of Tulgey Wood on Devils Tower (5.10-). I've heard others compare this route to the difficulty of the first pitch of Tulgey Wood.

The climbing is excellent but the first 25 feet are a bit serious and IMHO warrant the PG-13 rating due to the close proximity of the ground and a lack of gear in the first 15 feet. A fall from the crux despite bomber gear will bring one very close to the ground.

The moves are committing, awkward and pumpy above the first gear. The second gear placements are a good 10 feet above the first gear. The gear above this point is trucker and the climbing is 5.8+. Yet another great Needles sandbag.

Ya...the first 15 ft. seemed I had to hump the rock with no pro...very ackward...IMHO not 5.10 but maybe all of 5.9 on the starting moves which then eases up...great climb.

Brent I totally agree on the PG13, witnessed a near meltdown on it once, not sure about the rating its been a long time. Maybe things have changed holds break who knows.

Not sure exactly what Tony is trying to describe. For the second pitch I always went straight up a thin crack right above the belay. Always thought that pitch was the crux at about 5.9

I do remember the start being a little dicy but this is one of my all time favorite routes. I wouldn't call it a sandbag though.
There are several possibilities on the second pitch some easier than others.

I just did this route. Not sure if I agree with the pg13 rating as there is bomber gear to protect the crux. The easy climbing just above the crux may get a little run out but if you can pull the crux you shouldnt have a problem with that. We set up a trad anchor At the top of the first pitch adjacent to the bolted anchors and about ten feet left. For the second pitch I went up the awkward flaring chimney on the left almost straight up for the first pitch. I'm not very good with chimney ratings but it felt like an appropriate second pitch for this climb. The chimney has great pro but little to no hand holds. We topped out on the northeast summit of khayyam. We then made a third pitch by traversing and going up a short 5.0 northeast facing crack past a very old very bad piton. We then climbed up the main summit. The container the register is in should most likely be replaced. The accual register was very wet. We made it to the ground from the rap station we past on the way up at the end of the first pitch with 1 60m rope although it was very close. Very fun climb no matter how you do it I think.

Routes like this are what make climbing, and at times life-changing, sport and not a game. Awesome. A classic... I do agree that it is a bit dangerous and sandbagged (and I didn't even lead the crux pitch on it). Gear is lacking at a number of points though... I have heard of several accidents or injuries on it and, while walking by it, have several times seen gear on it from climbers that had bailed off. Kamps Route (not listed on MP) on the other side of this formation is pretty awesome too-- probably a 3.5 star route and a bit easier as well though still with a run out crux second pitch.
