The route Grand Illusion with the lower 5.10b variation start shown. It climbs up a crack not quit visible in the shadows lower right and scums over and past a point via a 5.10b mantle type move. The upper crack and steep crux of Grand Illusion can be seen upper left in the photo as well but somewhat ill defined in this photo due to the angle of the shot and small shadows.
Grand Illusion area. Grand Illusion Direct (5.10b) and Illusion Chimney (5.6) are named in the Knower book, and listed as #36 and #37 in Swartling/Mayer.

Rhoads does the Grand Illusion Double Direct variation. Hefty run-out included.
Jerry Wingenter leading Grand Illusion via the 5.10b variation start. Here, he is past the crux of the variation and stemming his way up the very nice middle section and almost to the start of Grand Illusion proper.
Jerry Wingenter leads Grand Illusion via the 5.10b variation start. This is a great route and a great start to it.<br> Takes gear very well as you can sort of see in this photo (nice splitter coming out of his head). Take a few Ball Nuts with you. You can just see the crux section of the upper part of Grand Illusion in the upper left of photo.
