Description
This is really an exciting, little, connection pitch between Friday's Folly & West Door. From the top of Friday's Folly & the western eye bolts, you continue up linking features which include a difficult to protect, wide cracks (with a pin), corners, and even some arete moves (7 R). You can belay out left below the overhang of West Door or at the eyebolt for the 2nd rap off the 3rd Flatiron.
It's probably not a destination climb, but it does serve to make for a nice linkup up the backside to the summit.
This was originally described under G. Bell's West Door entry.
