Description Suggest change

From the far right side of Purgatory Ledge, climb the obvious left-facing corner to the ledge above Casey Jones & Dry Bones Live Again. Belay at the bolted anchor. Face climb right, then climb the 5.11+ fingers/tips crack to a bolted anchor below a steep, golden corner. To descend from here, Make a 36 meter rappel back to the ledge above Casey Jones or a 70 meter rappel back to Purgatory Ledge.

The pitch above the second anchor was attempted by the first ascensionists. It looks all-time, although it needs a few bolts. There is a bolted anchor on top of the roof above the corner. It is an open project. Send it and finish this climb up! Please don't rename those first two pitches, though. We named it after our dear friend Graham Hunt, who passed away in a BASE jumping accident in Yosemite Valley.
