1981 - EBs & Chouinard hexes. Before belay devices so my brother Mark is using a body belay which he used to catch me whipping on the traverse. Kind of run out to the first gear. Third lead ever. <br> Photo: Chris Osborn

Excerpt from 1978 Guide from Dwight Kroll.
Revised photo of P Wall. Note the added bolts and unused anchors below Jump For Joy and atop the flake (this was once a natural belay). Also note that the toprope anchors high on P Wall Direct/Hanging Teeth have been removed.<br> <br> I have also corrected Route Canal and Hanging Teeth.<br> <br> 1 - Stage Fright (5.10a), 2 - Indecent Exposure (5.7), 3 - Out of Hangers (5.10a(R)), 4 - Impacted Stool Crack (5.9(R)), 5 - P-Crack (5.8), 6 & 6a - Letterman (5.6), 7 - Black Streak (5.10a(R)), 8 - Jump for Joy (5.9(R)), 9 - Route Canal (5.10b), 10 - Hanging Teeth (5.8(R)), 11 - P-Wall Direct (5.8(R)).
Vickie grabs the lower rail at the crux of the climb. Leaving the crack & finding the lower rail is the key to this climb.
Vickie on the Letterman variation. Clip a bolt then muddle your way through the bird/bat poo. It would be a great variation if it weren't for the guano.
This would be a good pic if it weren't for the old people in the way. Great views from here & the top of P-Wall. I often see people just hanging out here & at the Letterman anchors enjoying the view.
