Don't skip P5! Very enjoyable in a different style from the other pitches and I found plenty of good pro.

Watch out for strange cam-eating bug creatures on this one

Shame about all the bolts. Protecting it naturally is easy and fun and adds nothing to the difficulty or commitment.

My brother leading the sick line up p3. It may appear that his pieces are inches apart, but he is probably 30-40 ft off the belay here.

Following P1

Traffic jam trying to get down.The climbing party of five (!) was actually a little more annoyed with us (party of 2...) than this photo lets on.. nothing like a selfie to break the ice... or whatever

Pitch 5 bolted anchor (Sept 2015). This one needs a new sling/ring. The bolts are kind of old too.

The p5 anchor… two old, not too rusty bolts backed up with a small nut. The tat did seem relatively fresh. A fun pitch but maybe bring some extra tat just in case.

Don't skip P5! Very enjoyable in a different style from the other pitches and I found plenty of good pro.

Inside the Pitch 2 chimney. "Face Los Vegas" was Jorge's advice.
