P1 is great. P2 is very low-angled and P3 is R-rated. P2 and P3 are rarely, if ever done. I have not done them and will not plagiarize guidebooks, so no description
P1 - Climb the obvious left-facing flake and crack system, then follow the crack above to a small overhang/alcove. Surmount the overhang (some layback, some jam), then continue up the face to set up an anchor using trees at any convenient spot. Traverse right to the large pine tree and rappel atop P1 of Middle Earth.
Location
Halfway down a steep slope and 30 feet right of Absurdland (or, 40 feet left of Middle Earth), at the left edge of a nice white face.
Gail I agree with you regarding the crux. I sailed through the bottom and spent a fair amount of time working out gear and moves up top. I ran it up to the GTL. My partner took one look at P3 and decided it wasn't for him, wasn't for me either.
