A tip if your partner is a little squimish about following the opening traverse moves on p4. <br>
Once you finish leading the pitch: Pull up all the rope and put your partner on belay like normal. Untie and lower down your end of the rope. Your partner can then tie in on a bite with a locker (that way they can ditch that rope after the traverse) and be on top rope for the first traverse, just like climbin on doubles. No giant pendulum, and one happy partner :) <br>

Rob leads out on the first pitch as Josh belays.

Starting up pitch 1.

Kat A. follows the Standard Route (5.11a) at Sunshine Wall.

If you get off route, you can do the 5.12 slab like Aaron here!

The possibility of riding the third belay ledge to the car is the "R" part.
