Location of Fruit Loops.

Sweetie, does this crack make my butt look- never mind. Belayer's view of P1. The chimney, P2, is to the right of the helmet. It was described to me as "it's sooo cool, when you come out, it's like getting birthed".

Pitch 2 is super fun and eats up gear. The first crack stays a bit wet but so many good options for placement. A bit runout after you head out onto the face, but super mellow and great view.

This is the start of the second pitch of Fruit Loops from inside the chimney.

Getting started on P2. Gear is plenty on this first section before gaining the face.

A great view of the primary crack
