Nathan Fitzhugh at the start of El Grandote. Does not appear to get much traffic but is a fun climb.

Looking up at the second and third pitches. I began the pitch just right, then moved up and left to a lieback flake with a fixed pin and hex. Then I moved back right and up. I moved over the big roof system at the most obvious break visible at the center of the image.
