The start of the walk off to climbers' left. It's a moderate 10-15 minute descent from here back to base of the climb.

Not many route-finding problems here; but yellow arrows = Big Bad Wolf, Black = Physical Graffiti

Red Riding Hood Wall and Physical Graffiti

You can rap from the first anchor on a 60m rope with this much left over--perfect!

Top anchors of physical grafitti, recommend rapping into gully and not scrambling the whole way!

Physical Graffiti. Nice start -- the first 20 feet up the crack in the corner might be the best part of the climb.

2nd pitch of Physical Graffitti, Always a fun climb. If doing the 5.9 variation first pitch it's a great climb!

Fun crack. New to trad and agree with all the above comments. First pitch is easy but the second pitch is a little tricky. I'd def like to follow my leader a few more times before I lead the second pitch.
