This pitch follows a series of discontinuous cracks, which are difficult to see from the belay, and takes much more gear than you would expect. Apr 6, 2012

It was quite a busy day on birdland yet still enjoyable. There were 6 people total hanging from the two bolts atop pitch 4 just prior to taking this photo......

Birdland awash in climbers on March 23rd. Fun route, but very crowded -- even on a weekday!
