This route follows the first pitch of Perhaps through that route's crux traverse to the first set of chains. From that anchor follow a thin 5.7 crack that wanders up and left until it meets with the Original Start to Gordon's right below the first 5.9 crux.
Protection
All gear up to a BD #3. Some small nuts are useful right off the chains of the first pitch. Chain anchor at the top.
Having climbed both variations of Gordon's, the Original long one pitch version is the best, if rope drag can be controlled. That is why I knocked this version down to three stars...not as sustained and fun.

The long one pitch version is great but the climbing getting to the flake on the two pitch version is very good too. Plus the first pitch of Perhaps is a great lead for a beginning trad leader.
