A wonderful day on a wonderful climb! Pitch One

Description 

Quadraphenia is a classic route with varied climbing.

1: Climb up a nice crack corner up to a small right facing dihedral to a nice ledge. (5.7+; Natural Anchor)

2: Mantle onto a small ledge with a piton, continue up to a large double overhang via crack. (5.6; small, semi-hanging, belay w/natural anchor)

3: Climb past a sick overhang on the right with nice exposure that turns to a really nice corner/dihedral to another sick overhang. (5.7; bolted anchor)

4: Follow broken cracks and face, veering left to the top.

Pitches can be combined in different sequence if desired, but typically people combine pitches 2 and 3.

Descent: It is possible to make two double-rope rappels from the top of the 3rd pitch. If you plan on summiting, walk to the climbers right,then make your way (carefully!!) back down to the bolted anchor atop pitch 3.

Location 

Route is located on the left side of the crag. It starts 50' left of a prominent left facing corner, and chimney.
