The start of the walk off to climbers' left. It's a moderate 10-15 minute descent from here back to base of the climb.

Not many route-finding problems here; but yellow arrows = Big Bad Wolf, Black = Physical Graffiti

Red Riding Hood Wall and Physical Graffiti

You can rap from the first anchor on a 60m rope with this much left over--perfect!

Top anchors of physical grafitti, recommend rapping into gully and not scrambling the whole way!

Physical Graffiti. Nice start -- the first 20 feet up the crack in the corner might be the best part of the climb.

2nd pitch of Physical Graffitti, Always a fun climb. If doing the 5.9 variation first pitch it's a great climb!

Start by the two trees/shrubs located at the bottom of the crack and follow up right to nice belay ledge. Than follow the nice long right crack all the way up.

Fun crack. New to trad and agree with all the above comments. First pitch is easy but the second pitch is a little tricky. I'd def like to follow my leader a few more times before I lead the second pitch.

Small Gecko at base of climb at 5am, potentially attracted to the light from headlamps. Watch your step! (also saw a small scorpion)
