Peking 

Climb the first pitch, then rap. The rest of the route is chossy and not fun at all. We were pulling delicately around dinner plate sized rocks for much of it, so we nicknamed it "mutually assured destruction." First pitch is great though.

was it really that bad? I admit to doing it a couple years back but don't reacall anything looser than say Moscow next door on it?? An OK upper pitch but nothing like the opening crack of course.

Yep, it was that bad: bad enough, anyway, to send me traversing right in hopes of bailing onto Moscow. There is a cool eagle's nest in the cave to the west, though.
P.S. Ben Kenobi didn't learn his lesson, though, and neither did I; we've both been spending a lot of time in the desert lately... And ironically, we've both been spending a lot time birding.

It seemed pretty chossy to me as well. From the ground, I saw a bunch of weeds and fractured rocks, but I thought: "It can't be that bad. Maybe it's only a short section."
I wanted to do Peking, after doing Moscow a couple weeks ago, so I climbed Chouinard's Crack (awesome), and joined Moscow for a while to avoid the crap above Chouinard's Crack. At every opportunity, I stepped left (through choss) and looked around, but never saw anything that looked worth climbing. And, yes, Moscow is quite a bit cleaner. Except for a few feet, Moscow is immaculate splitter cracks.

Climb the first half pitch and then link up with Moscow. The rest of Peking just isn't worth it. I didn't think the bulges after Chouniard's were any harder than 5.6+. Some fractured rock and a ton of bird doodoo.
