A couple of local guides out for some re-certification hot on our heels. They passed us, and then got lost (guides??). We caught them and had to wait on the last pitch. <br> <br> Once on top, they disappeared fast. Apparently, they had done the descent before.

The "belay" 70% of the way through the second hard pitch, if you see this belay keep going and you'll find something much better. If you have arrived here from the start of the crux pitches you have linked the hard pitches. Look closely at the left piton!
