lovers leap question

Never been to lovers leap before and from my research I just want to clarify a few things...my goal is to climb Surrealist Pillar, Corrugation Corner, and Then hospital corner...

From reading the beta, Surrealistic Pillar is a lower cliff side then the other two? Does that mean I can top out on Surrealistic Pillar than walk over to Corrugation corner. Top out and do the descent back to the base of CC, past it a few dozen yards and should be at hospital corner?

I'm guessing I should leave the packs at the car and just rack up and bring a small bag up the walls for food and water

or my other option is to do The Line 5.9, Corrugation Corner, and Hospital Corner...

What would be my best option/preferred way to do these 3 routes in the fastest way possible considering the approach and descents...thanks in advance

The hike back up to the bottom of corrugation is a bitch. It might be better to do the first two pitches of hospital corner (these are the good ones iirc, don't know if pitch 3 is worth doing), then rap down and finish on corrugation.

If you want to ass Hospital in, you're better off doing surrealistic then Hospital. 99% of parties rap after p2 of hospital. Then walk the 100 yards to Corrugation and top out. You can do it the other way, but it's a long slog back uphill to hospital if you top out Corrugation. Crux is the Corrugation crowds though, so if you get up there and it's free, get on Corrugation.

Weekdays are generally pretty good at the Leap, but your doing one of the most classic moderate linkups. If your waiting on the main ledge for either Corrugation or Hospital then Arctic Breeze makes a good time killer. It's the sport route just left of Hospital. I've heard some people find it airy as the bolts are semi-spaced at the bottom but everything is pretty positive.

I'm headed to L.L. tomorrow too.
:) leading my first multi pitch over at Hogsback,
starting our day at Napsack Crack. Super excited!
Have a great time climbing! I fell in love with multi pitch
climbing at lovers leap. Pretty sure I'd be happy just to
do multi pitch.
