Roof sequence. The missing bit is the high step over the lip. I go up with my right foot, but I've seen taller folks go up with the left!<br> <br> - Photos by Brett Verhoef

Tarantula to Seven Seas. <br> The loose block on Gargantua has always been loose, but recent comments suggest it has been getting looser over the years. Belaying off to the side seems to be the wise choice.
The 'easy' way to pull the crux
This photo was taken on Decadence Day.<br> <br> An end o' season thing we used to do. Where everyone would bring TON's of food, grills, Beer & Wine by the case, chairs shit you name it....<br> <br> Then we consumed & Climbed the day away<br> <br> <br> Check out them tights!

As noted in another photo, a BD C4 #2 provides solid protection for the low crux. Heads up... the flake at lower right rocks just enough to cause concern. I wouldn't belay under it.

Another beta photo? Sure!

Swillbillies to Gargantua. Routes to right of Freaky Face as you round the corner toward Pacific Ocean Wall to the east. <br> <br> Uberschmitt can share the start with Sepsen Wall (per Knower) or Tarantula (per S/M). Looks like you could start between them, too.
