I added a rough topo to this, hopefully it helps someone out a little.

Does this wet your appetite?

Right after the steep section the angle eases considerably. From there just skip the intermediate anchors and gun it to the summit.

Wild Kat rapping from the second station on the new rappel route. A 70m just makes it to the bottom of the gully followed by some scrambling.

About half-way up Pitch 3. A nice comfortable cobble to rest your feet on, and then nothing else below you for 200 feet!

Working through the exposed crux of the route. All smiles.

First rappell station. It might seem natural to rappell straight down, but you must follow the crack on the left side of you to prevent a terrible traverse. A 70m will reach to the ground from the second station.

A new variation for P2? I saw this yesterday (7/14/20) and initially laughed at what seemed to be a lame gesture to help someone find bolts, but the line led to anchors that are right of the standard P2 anchors.

This picture is taken from the new third rappel anchor station, placed on 4/18/19. The perspective looks up at the second rappel anchor station.

Lowering off the nose of the climb. I think the bolts for this rap have since been removed and a new rap route has been developed.

The third rappel anchor station, placed on 4/18/19. Photo looks south, the Maple Canyon road is below the lower left hand corner of the photo. Heart Rock is at photographers left. A third bolt is just out of view near the upper right-hand corner of photo.
