Proto Pipe 

Poor rock for the opening moves leads to better, spicy climbing above.

Good quality spire, some difficult moves 2/3 of the way up. A rest half way helps for the crux, also there is a sweet mono just before the top at the end of the crux. Amazing view no doubt.

Wow, this would be a 4 star route if the crappy rock quality that makes for a scary start was cleaned up a bit and the bolts placed a bit farther left. Getting up to that rest ledge before the 4th bolt puts your mind in the right space to deal with the upper runout. Phew! It is possible to use small gear to supplement and get through some of the runout. The upper runouts are definitely scary, but the fall would be clean (think Adios Larry). Excellent rock quality after that rest ledge and very fun, delicate and thoughtful movement to get through it all cleanly. The sweet mono was definitely helpful!

According to Marty's book this was established in '91 by Andy Marquardt and Leo Henson. Given the wandery nature of the bolts, the runout, and the excellent clipping holds (well, for someone a few inches taller than me!), I'm guessing it was done ground up. Can safely say that doing so was a tremendous achievement!
