The crux pitch is extremely well protected.

An old bolt with "JU" etched on it, presumably for Jorge and/or Joanne Urioste. This was at the top of either the second or third pitch. Don't worry, there were new, shiny, bolts nearby, too.

Igor cruising up p7

an 80m will take you from the top of 7 to the top of 5 and set up a sweet shot of friends cruising the crux pitch... but its close enough where I wouldn't recommend it

70m Edelrid reached from p4 anchors to p3 anchors easily. I'm 115lbs and wasn't carrying a pack or gear. Just FYI! Have fun!

Epic Beard on an Epic Climb! Wrapping up an awesome day on this classic.

Racked 'n ready to gun us up the crux. Note that the belay is far more comfortable using a long tether and standing off to the left

What a beautiful first pitch! I see why it's classic.
