Thought it would be fun to add this photo from back in the 'Iron Age' when it was still rated 5.9 ~ Keith on 'Super Pooper" 1968.

The Super Pooper as seen from the approach trail. The upper belay is about 80 rope meters from the ledge where The Trough starts. It's best to brake the traverse into two pitches because of rope drag.<br> <br> Belaying pitch 1 from the upper ledge is beneficial, there is less rope drag and the belayer has a better view of the climber.<br> <br> On pitch 2, avoid the slab above the roof. Go left and then cut back right. Rope drag can get unpleasant here.

Start Super Pooper here for a more direct way into the crux. Detailed in the topo pic with the redline.
