Pitch 2 of Midway, climber is just below the steep crack near the top. A lot of loose rock on this fun pitch.

[Hide Comment] I don't know if there is a better rappel if you are trying to rap off rather than going to Upper Broadway to walk off the blue diamond scramble, but there are rap rings on a small ledge just below at the top of a sport route just to the climbers left of Bee Sting Corner. We belayed one another downclimbing to this, you can see a break to climb down over the edge by Bee Sting Corner. A 70m will get you from these rings to another set at I believe the top of the first pitch for Kauffman-Cardon, and then down to the ground from there (through a bit of vegetation). Nov 28, 2017
