The approach trail currently looks like this. There is a small cairn, but is easily missed (we blew right past it and ended up bushwhacking). Hopefully this photo will be slightly helpful. NOT an obvious trail.

Approximate route up Outer Space

One of the 3rd class approach to the first pitch. Start from the obvious weakness in the rock (an open corner with bushes) follow a 3rd class ramp right and up to a clean corner, the start the real climbing of the first pitch. Set up your initial belay at

Pedestal ledge. There's a bolt up on the wall that will prevent the rope from dragging over the rock like this and help reduce rope drag for the belay. I failed to see it and struggled

stoked!

3rd Pitch. 5.8+ Climbing to Traverse isn't trivial. Traverse is tricky, but with right sequence wasn't too tough to follow. After that (not in picture), "balancey" 5.8 climbing to end pitch. This pitch doesn't let up but was fun!

Upper headwall splitter.

Awkward angle but this is the continuation of the 3rd pitch traverse. It doesn't let up until the end :)

5.8 Dihederal finish of 4th pitch. Eats up cams.

As seen in its totality from halfway up the approach.

Traffic jam atop pedestal ledge at the start of P5. This route can get popular!

The infamous travers. Tricky but fun and exhilarating! The orange rope was a fixed line that someone left up there (unfortunately for the photo)
