Climbers on the third pitch out on a sea of granite...

Lunch Ledge seen from the end of Indecent Exposure/S-Crack vars. S-Direct continues up the center corner, Standard Thumb comes in from the left, exits right. Might be nicer (but harder) to lieback and slab in the corner to a belay rather than...

This is the pitch off lunch ledge to get to the slabs. We were very confused and followed several other lines of bolts before figuring this out

Go right - stick with tradition and follow in the footsteps of the Lowes!

Pulled this jug off on 5/9/20. Was roughly ten feet up and fell to the deck. Good thing this pitch has a an excess of chicken heads!

The Ogden belay

Ryan about to get a glimpse of the "Sea of endless granite"...and enjoying the Heck out of those vertical chicken heads on the first pitch off of Lunch Ledge.
