Description Suggest change

P1: 10d, 2 bolts, gear to 3", mostly fingers at the hard bit. Head up the obvious crack in the big corner at the top of the big talus field left of Gong Show and the Back Stage. Exiting right out of the crack about 50' up is an older route that goes at 5.9. Stay left here up steep hands to a nice finger crack that tapers to a seam, where there are two bolts to protect exciting moves on the face and arete. 2 bolt anchor at 40+ meters shared with the older 5.9 to the right. 

P2: 10a, 6-7 bolts, gear to 1". Move left to low bolt above the roof (the right bolt is for the 5.9-10- route to the right), then face and arete climbing past 6 or so bolts with occasional small-medium gear to a bolted anchor on a huge comfortable ledge at 35m.

P3: Classic 5.9 hands shared with the easier route to the right. Move right towards the top to a nice belay ledge below the rad steep summit block pitches. Gear to 3. 30m

P4: Three options here: killer hands on the left to a hard boulder problem crux with a bolt at the top (5.11). Or take the Dad Bod variation finish: start up the right crack around a huge flake with one bolt. Continue up splitter hands in the big corner on great rock to a slab-mantel boulder problem at the top with one more bolt. A final, and possibly best option starts on the left crack then traverses right across the blank-looking face with one bolt to join up with the Dad Bod crack on the right (12- range project). 20 m

Location Suggest change

Head to Gong Show wall.  Follow a trail to the left that leads you towards the pinnacle. Starts just left of several short, steep sport routes right of the huge corner, and right of a bolted approach pitch just left of the obvious crack system of this route.
