Description
The first pitch is mostly bolted, but it's recommended to bring some specific gear. The first pitch is 5.12a, the second pitch is 5.13c, and the third pitch is also 5.13c, but a bit more powerful between good rest holds. The most difficult sections are before the pitch joins "Made in Time" and "Maiden Voyage". After a great rest, the last overhanging section is not too hard if you know where the holds are!
Location
The first pitch starts on the obvious face with bolts to the left of a large tree 30 feet left of the first pitch of Hasta La Hueco on the South face of The Maiden.
Protection
For the first pitch, it's useful to bring a 0.5 cam before the first bolt, then clip the next 6 bolts. After clipping the 6th bolt, you can place a #4 RP nut along with a small cam (black Totem) in a horizontal flake and then a yellow 0.4 cam just before the belay. The second pitch is all bolts except the last move getting to the belay could use a 0.4 yellow cam. The third is all bolts, but since it traverses to the left, it's most efficient to lead and then clip back through the fixed draws to get back down to the belay. You can rappel from the top of the second pitch as long as you clip a few draws on the way down to get back to the belay on the top of the first pitch.
