October Sundae - the dotted line (which I have done) is where the NEClimbs.com photo showed the route going. It actually climbs through a "notch" in the OH as shown with the solid yellow line and as described in the text.
"Upper Rap Line Photo" - Detail of the upper rap lines. The red and green raps can be made with a single 70m. The black and yellow raps are two-rope rap ( double 60m ropes)

The "Main Rap Line" is shown, along with rap lines into it from the top of the slab (see also "Upper Rap Line Photo" for more detail)
Climbers just finished p2. Topo is showing the Direct route on the left (via bolt) and the more traditional way on the right, to next belay location (gear anchor).
Our approximate route and belay locations (bolts or gear).
Main Slab and Oct. Sundae
RH on P1 of Oct Sundae; he's over the crux. (There's now a bolt above the single cam shown in this photo.)
Looking up at the "Notch" of October Sundae from a gear belay 30-40 ft below the OH. Hard to believe it "goes" at only 5.3 -5.4 !
Super-Telephoto of "the Beautiful Crack" at the start of P4. "Don't leave home" without climbing it.
Looking up at the top of P6 and P7 (as described.) Note white rock and "BB" for top anchors...but you don't see them. (Note: we didn't split the pitch into two)
