Pitch 2 direct start. Excellent climbing.
My variation. At the top of the left-facing dihedral, there is a small roof getting up to the dashed line. The dashed line is a ledge to enter the chimney. Finally, I stayed a little bit lower and did not go over the obvious flake (easy face climbing).

Harvey Carter's notes on the climb written the day after the first ascent.
August 14, 1999. This must be soon after the rockfall happened. I climbed the route on July 14, 1999, so it happened sometime in the prior month. I feel lucky to have climbed the original route!

Alternate start for Northcutt-Carter.
Pitch 6, climbing into the band of blocky red rock.
Pitch 5 roof. The standard belay is below this roof, not above it.
Pitch 3 above the traverse left. We climbed this part as part of pitch 4 because of rope drag from the traverse.
