Description
The first 40 feet of Big Time has gotten increasingly polished and an unexpected slip is a high probability. It is also extremely popular with groups and a frequent single pitch only toprope place. You can avoid this (polish and popularity) by starting up the first two pitches of Little Time or Oh My Gosh.
Oh My Gosh ends after two shorter pitches, but you can easily link left to Little Time just below the steep part. EIther way brings you to the big ledge at mid point and finish up the last two pitches of Big Time
