Route overlay of Leisure-Summer.

Leisure/ Summer traverse. With long slings we linked this into the steep 5.9 pitch making this route 3 1/4 pitches.

Top of pitch 2 on our line.

Bryan Boots on the nice ledge after the roof. A lot happier, too.

Pitch 2.

Pitch 5 follows the 5.6 corner to the right of the arete.

Direct finish pitch (5.9/9+). Pitch 6.

Mark Sokol on the third pitch of Leisure. This gully is easy 5th class, just after the crux roof. At this point we linked up with the next pitch of Midsummer Nights Dream.

Pitch 3 of A Midsummer Night's Dream (for the Leisure-Summer version of the route).

Two guys on Leisure Climb, maybe pitch 2? Taken from high on Maiden Voyage.

Way off route, last pitch. Thank God the canyon rim is in sight.

Pitch 1.

The traverse left into Pitch 2 that combines "Leisure Climb" with the route next to it. Pro is scarce here, but the traverse is very easy.

Traverse at top of pitch 2 to get to base of pitch 3 of A Midsummer Night's Dream (for the Leisure-Summer version of the route).

Jeff at the top of the second pitch.

J Pop and Steve coming up pitch one (from the belay).

Ledge above pitch 5. You can walk off from here or do a direct finish pitch.

The end of the route before the direct finish If you keep up past that last off widthy pitch, it quickly turns to a choss pile. Hike off climber's left here to direct finish, or hike a bit more for a quick scramble out.

Jeff pulling the 3rd pitch roof if you join the line of "Midsummer Night's Dream" which is highly recommended. The crack in the left wall has good feet and some horizontal hand holds even, so look around as you get into it. This is 5.9.

Way off route. After P5, we went up and right instead of hard left.

Making my way off P2 for leisure/summer. Stayed with the thin crack the whole way, a tad spacy, and took very small nuts, but was a fun line nonetheless.

Putting the rope up on the huge ledge with trees and moving left to the little low 5th class exit.

The start of the route.

Bryan Boots beginning the first pitch. Watch out for the poison ivy in the crack!
