IMPORTANT BETA - the route cuts right to the flake (hidden crack) after plugging gear in this little roof on pitch one. If you head straight up that column like I did you'll be in major sketchland with no gear before the bolt 20 feet up
Trinity arrives at the first bolt of the p1 onsight. Beautiful day.
