Kelly Cordes leading the superb second pitch of Kor's S'mores on the Upper East Face of Long's. The crux face climbing and stemming is just above him.

The final real pitch. Cracks and face lead up to the obvious break near the top, which could be climbed directly at 5.9/5.10. We hand-traversed around to the right to exit, which was fun. <br> <br> Photo by Kelly Cordes.
The yellow line is Kor's Door, more or less. The red is the "new" ground of Kor's S'mores above Broadway, between The Eighth Route on the left and Teeter Totter Pillar on the right. Five more pitches plus some scrambling.

The final short pitch to the top.
Looking up the pitch 2 corner (the first 5.10 pitch).
Looking down from the top of P4, the second 5.10. More of a chimney in the second half, but really fun!
This was the P1 we did a neat handcrack and then moved right on top of the pillar to get to the belay below P2 dihedral. This was right in front of us when we finished the Hornsby Direct. The actual P1 is R of this, around the corner, but it works too!
Showing P2 dihedral, with some of the terrain to the right to help you find the start of the route. This photo is from the first belay. We ended up starting too far to the left, and moved right to get to this belay.
I believe this was our pitch 4? (pitch 8 from the ground) of the route. We didn't have this write up, and I don't think we broke our pitches up as smoothly.
The exit of the fifth pitch (as we did it) on Kor's S'mores.
Kelly Cordes on the second hard pitch, a 60-meter rope stretcher along the right side of a slender pillar, with a crux through the steep offwidth directly over Kelly's head. That wide crack was longer than it looks but also easier and better protected.
