Description Suggest change

The Dharma Initiative starts about 75 ft uphill of "A Bit Too Short", (see Topo/Photo posted to "Main Slab").

Pitch 1: runout easy terrain to a brief and bolt protected slab crux, then break through the short headwall (two BD .5 cams protect it well).  Then belay from either the two bolt anchor of A Bit Too Short (climbers left) OR a gear anchor in a crack ~20ft climbers R

Pitch 2: Straight up through the overlap (cams) then straight up the slab at 5.3 to a gear belay in a groove

Pitch 3: Up the short water groove corner (5.8, protects with a #1 BD cam, and small, finicky gear) to a bolt, then up 5.7 friction slab past two more bolts to a two bolt anchor (FUN!)

Pitch 4: up slab (5.5) past one bolt and a cam option in a hueco to a two bolt anchor

Here we ended up on A Bit Too short and did the following (yielding climbers right, one would find instead a 2" crack and a 5.8 layback/mantle to a tree with rap rings as per the topo, then an optional 6th pitch to the belay shared with Direct and A Bit Too Short) :

Pitch 5: up 5.5 past a crack (red totem or similar) and two bolts to a two bolt anchor 

Pitch 6: as for direct

Protection Suggest change

Usual rack, some small cams and doubles of the BD .5 size may be appreciated by some.
