Once at the top of the approach head left towards the Marge formation. Sky Pilot is to the right of Marge, and just to the left of Boys Who Aren't French.

Protection

Finger sized pieces, nuts.

[Hide Comment] Pretty sure the name of this route is "Sky Patrol". Unless the guide book is wrong. Mostly 5.7-8 climbing to a 1-move crux at the top. Safe lead with modern gear (C3s or equivalent). Jun 20, 2016
