Supertopo says doubles to 4 inches, but you really don't need anything larger than a #3. I placed one #4 C4 at the 5.6 wide bit (smaller protection was available) but the old style #4 that I carried went unused.

One of those 5.8's that is more like a 5.9. I had a great time on the varied climbing, and running this together with the second pitch of Knob Job into a single pitch makes for a very classic outing.

Better than Bishops Terrace. Bring your entire bag of tricks. You'll need 'em.

Combined with the second pitch of "knob job", makes a great long pitch.

Reasonable people will avoid this area in the dead of summer. Fun climb, but lots of loose rock near the end of P1
