Pitch 1. It is very dirty, mossy, and lichen covered. If you don't get distracted by all of this, you will realize that pleasant, positive holds abound making this an enjoyable climb. No need for friction on any move. P1 ramp finishes up in short corner section with a nice, positive rail above the corner to hoist yourself. Look for belay with bolt hangers in alcove.

Looking East from the top of the original route.
This is the start of pitch 2. If you go left where the climber is, you will hit another set of bolt anchors. If you go right up the V dihedral, you will be on sustained, runout 5.6 and almost at the top of the formation when you top out. Great view of leader from belay stance.

This outcropping sits directly below a grassy flat area and the start of the climb.
At the top of the original route. The cedar tree and bolts are a quick scramble over the rocks toward the cross (up canyon). TJ cleans some anchor gear. There is a great rock to wrap a cordolette or webbing around and several cracks for cams or nuts for the anchor.

I believe this was a photo I took of the start.
