I discovered my tag-line somehow clove hitched itself on a root at the belay below pitch 4... after we had both reached the top-out and couldn't pull the tag-line up. Lessons were learned that day!

Yellow = Fastest Gun (P1 not visible; red circles are belays from the route description) <br> Green = Bloody Mary (I suggest ending P2 where this topo ends with a gear anchor, rather than using the semi-hanging belay marked with XX)
Pitch 4

Following third pitch was fun; the moves to the bolt were ok but I'm sure my partner liked the solid small nuts.<br> <br> Above the bolt he had plenty of protection.
