[Hide Comment] Would welcome confirmation from the FA party. I simply followed topo maps, GPS, and text descriptions from the JT West Vogel book.
Always possible I did a different route, in which case partly based on the conditions I may well have done an FA. Nov 28, 2016

[Hide Comment] We did a bolted line in between the little pigs routes a long time ago called Pork Circus...2 or 3 bolts
.
Gear anchor....if you didn't see this...you were at the wrong crag. The three little pigs crag is easily seen as you walk down the trail..it's the only real climbable crag with that description.. Dec 12, 2016

[Hide Comment] Thanks. The map seemed to indicate 3 separate formations. I thought the photo would have made it obvious if it was correct. Dec 12, 2016
