Original Urioste ("JU") bolt near the top of Pitch 3. There is a newer bolt just above it.

Climbers on P3... Taken from Pro Choice (11a) on Thanksgiving Day 2015. It was chilly!

Shame about all the bolts. Protecting it naturally is easy and fun and adds nothing to the difficulty or commitment.

My brother leading the sick line up p3. It may appear that his pieces are inches apart, but he is probably 30-40 ft off the belay here.

The second half of Pitch 5. Rico is at the bolted belay anchor. Old bolts.

Inside the Pitch 2 chimney. "Face Los Vegas" was Jorge's advice.

The p5 anchor… two old, not too rusty bolts backed up with a small nut. The tat did seem relatively fresh. A fun pitch but maybe bring some extra tat just in case.

Don't skip P5! Very enjoyable in a different style from the other pitches and I found plenty of good pro.

Pitch 5 bolted anchor (Sept 2015). This one needs a new sling/ring. The bolts are kind of old too.

The second half of Pitch 2, with Rico at the belay. Fun 5.9 climbing.
